Dressing Your Home to Sell in The Holiday Season

Are You Selling Your Home In the Holiday Season?

There is nothing more warming than going into a home that is tastefully decorated for the Holiday Season. It just sets the mood for a happy and wonderful showing and if the home looks inviting and the theme carries through, it can be a winning combination. 

Here are a few do's and don'ts for holiday decorating.

• Put up your huge big christmas tree if your home has the space and its not going to be too cramped and make your home look pokey and small.  
• If you have a smaller space, buy elegant table top christmas trees that add the ambience without taking up extra floor space
• Keep a constant theme through your home and avoid gaudy colors that will clash with your decor
• Pack away your existing scatter cushions and replace with complementary season colored scatter cushions and a chair drape can adding holiday cheer to a room
• Add a touch of holidays to your bathrooms with appropriately colored hand towels and crystal drop strand ornaments or candles 
• If you have a wood fireplace, consider filling the grate with candles that can be lit and give you a warming effect without the smoky smell from a dirty grate
• Ornaments and candles are welcome without creating too much clutter

Decorating On the Outside of the Home

• Avoid air filled figurines in the garden
• Choose tasteful single color lights to highlight your entrance
• Definitely have a welcome wreath if your door needs cheering up
• Pre-lit entry way trees at the entrance are a wonderful accent
• Greenery at the front door is always welcome

Holidays are a wonderful time - enjoy your home and your friends, family and guests. Buyers are definitely more accepting and often get into the spirit of the season. The holiday season can be a great time to sell. Buyers are generally more serious about purchasing and one can often sell your home more quickly because their is less inventory therefore less competition.
