Tips For Selling Your Home During The Holidays
Here are some helpful hints if you are considering selling your home over the holidays. Whether you have your home on the market is completely up to you. Do you want to keep showing your home or relax during the holidays?
Either way, here are some helpful do’s and don’ts to remember:
If You Leave Your Home on the Market
Should you put out those large stockings that will hang from the fireplace? What about hanging a wreath on your door or showcasing a Christmas tree in front of a window? What’s overdoing it? What’s not?
Try not to overdo it when it comes to decorating. Don’t block major walkways or any windows that will make a room look a lot darker. Remember, you want a buyer to feel at home, not like their in YOUR home. They can’t do that if you have too many Christmas decorations all over the place. Keep things clean and simple and it will make the home look festive without giving off the impression that they are buying from the local Clark Griswald!
- Tone down the size of tree. In place of a 10-foot tree, try decorating a table-top, four-foot version.
- Stack wrapped presents in a closet or in one corner.
- Use more splashes of red than green because red is an emotionally appealing color.
- Resist the urge to hang banners and use greenery instead such as evergreen or rosemary garlands.
- Display centerpieces made from pine cones or other wintry pieces of nature.
- Never leave candles burning unattended.
- Set a plate of cookies on the counter, next to festive paper napkins for guests.
- Simmer spicy apple cider on the stove, and set out cups and ladle.
So there you go. Be festive and have fun, and most importantly, Happy Selling! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Bedlam Realty!
