We hope this finds you and yours doing well. As we head into winter two things come to mind; Selling your home in the fall and winterizing your home.

Why this fall is a great time to sell your home? Inventory is low at Crooked River Ranch and we have buyers. List now and take advantage of the Sellers Market. When it comes to Buying or Selling a home, it’s important to trust in a Real Estate Agent who cares about your NEIGHBORHOOD as much as you do. At Crooked River Realty, we are here to help you get TOP DOLLAR for your property!

Winterize, Winterize, Winterize!
While the temperatures are still mild its time to think about preparing for winter weather. Now is the time to purchase your winterizing materials such as vent covers, new furnace filters, heat tape, ice melt and insulation. Don’t wait until these items are in short supply.

Here is a handy check list of 10 helpful tips to keep the cold out!

1) Place exterior vent covers in the foundation and attic vents.
2) Check and clean your gutters to help prevent ice dams.
3) Seal the cracks! Keep the cold out by checking all windows and doors.
4) Have your heating system tuned up and replace your furnace filter.
5) If you have a woodstove, have it cleaned and inspected before use.
6) Test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
7) Disconnect and drain hoses. Turn off exterior shut off valves.
8) Trim trees and shrubs now to prevent ice & snow heavy branches from falling and
damaging your home or property.
9) Keep it cozy by setting your thermostat to 65 degrees and open interior doors and cabinet doors during very low temperatures. This will increase warm air circulation.
10) Prevents Slips! Repair hand rails and sidewalks. Make sure you have adequate exterior lighting and keep ice melt or bird seed on slippery surfaces.
