If you own a winter seasonal rental in the Sunday River region, you might think the best time to list it is right before the snow starts falling. However, savvy property owners know that spring is the ideal time to secure renters for the upcoming season. Here’s why listing your winter rental in the spring with Sunday River Real Estate is a smart move.
Get Ahead of the Competition
By listing your property in the spring, you’re beating the rush. Many property owners wait until late summer or fall to start marketing their rentals, but by then, high-demand renters—such as seasonal workers, ski families, and long-term visitors—have already made their decisions. Securing a listing early puts your property in front of these renters before other options flood the market.
Attract Serious Renters Early
Many seasonal renters, especially those returning year after year, start planning their winter stays well in advance. Families with children, ski teams, and professionals working in the area for the season often want to lock in their housing early to avoid last-minute stress. By listing in the spring, you can attract these committed renters and potentially secure a lease months ahead of time.
Maximize Exposure During Peak Interest
Spring is a time when many winter enthusiasts start planning for next season—especially after experiencing an amazing winter at Sunday River. Plus, with the best deals on season passes dropping in March, skiers and snowboarders who love the area are locked in for next year. By making your property available early, you tap into this peak interest.
Exclusive Connection to Sunday River Resort

More Time to Optimize Your Listing
Listing in the spring gives you time to showcase your property in the best possible way. You can update photos, make any necessary repairs or upgrades, and work with Sunday River Real Estate to craft a compelling listing. With ample time for marketing, you increase your chances of attracting the right renters and securing the best possible lease terms.
Less Stress, More Security
Waiting until late summer or fall to list your rental can lead to unnecessary stress. If your property isn’t booked quickly, you may feel pressured to lower your rental rate or accept a less-than-ideal tenant. Listing early gives you peace of mind, ensuring that you secure a qualified renter well before the season begins.
