When it comes to real estate in Winona County, there’s one myth we hear time and time again: “Homes only sell in the spring and summer.”
It makes sense, right? Warmer weather, green lawns, and more people out and about – it sounds like the perfect time to sell. But here’s the truth: Homes sell all year round in Winona County – even in the winter.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Let’s look at the data. In January 2025 alone, 26 homes sold in Winona County, with a median sale price of $201,500 (Source: Redfin). That’s right – buyers were out in the cold, making deals and finding their perfect homes.
Why Winter Can Be a Great Time to Sell
So, what makes winter an opportunity for sellers?
- Less Competition: Many homeowners wait until spring, which means your home can stand out more in the winter months.
- Serious Buyers: People who are house hunting in the winter are often highly motivated. They might be relocating for work, expanding their family, or eager to settle before the warmer months.
- Faster Transactions: With fewer homes on the market, and often fewer buyers, transactions can sometimes move more quickly.
What This Means for You
If you’ve been waiting until spring to list your home, it might be time to rethink that strategy. The data shows that buyers are active, even when there’s snow on the ground.
