❄️ Winter Weather Home Prep Checklist
When Temperatures Drop Below Freezing

🏠 Protect Your Plumbing
☐ Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses
☐ Shut off exterior water spigots (if available)
☐ Insulate exposed pipes (crawl spaces, basements, garages)
☐ Let indoor faucets drip slightly during extreme cold
☐ Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air circulation
☐ Know where your **main water shut-off valve** is located

🔥 Heating & Warmth
☐ Schedule a furnace or heat-pump inspection
☐ Replace HVAC air filters
☐ Test thermostats (consider setting a minimum temp of 55°F if traveling)
☐ Inspect fireplaces and chimneys before use
☐ Keep space heaters away from flammable items

🪟 Seal & Insulate
☐ Check windows and doors for drafts
☐ Apply weatherstripping or caulk where needed
☐ Install door sweeps on exterior doors
☐ Close fireplace dampers when not in use

🧱 Exterior & Structural Prep
☐ Clean gutters and downspouts to prevent ice dams
☐ Trim tree branches near rooflines and power lines
☐ Secure outdoor furniture and décor
☐ Check the roof for loose shingles or flashing

⛑️Safety & Emergency Readiness
☐ Test smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors
☐ Keep flashlights and extra batteries accessible
☐ Have a backup heat source plan (if applicable)
☐ Stock ice melt or sand for walkways
☐ Prepare a basic winter emergency kit

🚗 Garage & Vehicle Considerations
☐ Insulate garage doors if possible
☐ Keep vehicles winter-ready (antifreeze, battery check)
☐ Store snow tools where they’re easy to access

✈️ If You’re Traveling
☐ Set thermostat to at least 55°F
☐ Shut off water and drain pipes if leaving for an extended period
☐ Ask a neighbor to check the home after extreme weather
☐ Never fully turn off the heat during freezing conditions

✅ Pro Tip for Homeowners
> Most winter damage happens when small preventative steps are skipped.
> A little preparation now can prevent frozen pipes, water damage, and costly repairs later.

📈 The market is waking up—big time.

Mortgage activity surged as buyers and homeowners jumped back in after the holidays. Last week, total mortgage applications jumped 28.5%, fueled by slightly lower interest rates and renewed buyer confidence.

Here’s what’s driving the momentum:
🏡 Purchase applications up 16% week-over-week and 13% higher than this time last year
💰 Refinance demand up 40% for the week and a staggering 128% higher year-over-year
📉 Average 30-year fixed rate dipped to 6.18%

In short: watching the rates closely, and when they move—even a little—move fast. If you’ve been waiting on the sidelines, this is your sign that the market is heating up again.

Give Jackie a shout to see what options are available for you.
