What winter really does to prices
Listings thin out from November, but the last four winters priced up.

I sold my first house on this bay at twenty four, for a couple who had been outbid four times and were ready to give up on the coast. We walked six streets instead of sixteen listings, and the seventh house was theirs by the end of the month.
Eleven years later the method has not changed. I keep the book small, write everything down, and treat the arithmetic as part of the service rather than something you work out alone after the viewing.
Figures shown are illustrative for this design demo.
Buying, selling or holding, the work starts the same way: with the numbers and your calendar.
We start with the shortlist you cannot write yet: what the house has to do on a Tuesday, not what it looks like on a Sunday.
Pricing comes from the last eight closes on your street, not a range wide enough to be right twice. Then we prepare the house.
Yield on this coast lives in the shoulder months. We model the slow weeks first and treat the summer as upside.
Eleven years on the same coast, a capped book of clients, and a habit of writing everything down.
No weekend of thirty viewings. A short list you understand, in the order that makes sense for your week.
Every offer arrives with the arithmetic attached, so the decision is yours and the reasoning is on paper.
Three steps, each one short enough to fit around a working week.

Most wasted weekends start with a listing instead of a brief.

Paint, light and drainage move the offer. A new kitchen rarely does.
