So, Why Stage Your Home When Santa – And Buyers – Come Around?
Home staging any time of the year has its benefits. The reason you’ll want to bring out that Christmas tree and classy Christmas decorations is because any buyer, no matter the time of year, buys a house because they can see themselves in it. That freshly made bread smell and aromas of just-baked cupcakes, Halloween décor or Christmas ornaments make a potential buyer see how it would be to live in your home. And when they can see themselves, and their family, in your home, you’re guaranteed that sale.
Seven Steps To A Christmas Decorated Home Which Sells
Before any décor goes up, you’ll want to take the clutter out. No matter the time of year, a good thorough clean of your home and a declutter gets your home sale to a rolling start. Pack away all your knickknacks, get rid of that unused furniture and only bring out that tinsel-laden tree when you’re actually able to see it and get to it.
But before you do, bring in the photographer for those ‘all important’ listing photos. You only get one chance to make a first impression. Having photos with Christmas decorations after the holidays, will not help buyers envision your house as their next forever home.
Now that your house is free of dirt, mess and clutter, and the photos taken, it’s time to start sprinkling that Christmas décor around the house. And sure, we all want to go mad with the Christmas makeover, but a little restraint goes a long way when trying to sell your home during the Holiday season. Less is more here! That inflatable Santa on your rooftop and using every item in your Christmas décor arsenal to cover every inch of space in your house is sure to turn potential buyers off. Keep décor simple and allow potential buyers to be impressed with your house, not blinded by the many lights scattered from every wall to the rooftop.
