December in Toronto creates the perfect backdrop to make your home feel warm, welcoming, and market-ready. If you’re selling this season, these simple curb appeal tips can help your property shine.

1. Keep Walkways Clear

Snow and ice are part of Toronto life—make sure paths, steps, and driveways are shoveled and salted for safety and a good first impression.

2. Add Winter Planters

Festive planters with cedar, pine, spruce, and red dogwood instantly brighten your entryway and look great in listing photos.

3. Use Simple, Elegant Décor

Think classic: a wreath, warm-white lights, lanterns, or minimal garland. Avoid inflatables or overly themed décor that distracts buyers.

4. Improve Exterior Lighting

With early sunsets, good lighting is essential. Update bulbs, add pathway lights, and use timers so your home looks inviting before dusk.

5. Tidy and Refresh

Store clutter, touch up chipped paint, update house numbers, and keep garbage bins neatly tucked away.

6. Highlight the Entryway

A clean doormat, fresh greenery, or a pair of lanterns can make your front door the star of your exterior.

A few thoughtful touches can help your home stand out beautifully against the winter backdrop—and make buyers feel at home the moment they arrive.
