Staging Your Home for a Holiday Sale

They say that it is harder to sell a home during the winter months, but it isn’t impossible. Sometimes the holidays are the best time to try to sell your home. Whatever time of year you put your home on the market, you want to stage it for a quick sale. During the holidays, you have even more opportunity to stage your home and make it look like a welcoming, warm place to live.

Christmas Tree

It is a good idea to go ahead and put up a Christmas tree that is well lit and fully decorated. It should be placed prominently in your home, without making the space look cluttered. The Christmas tree and other indoor decorations will allow potential buyers to imagine what holidays will be like if they buy the home.

Outdoor Ornaments

You should avoid outdoor ornaments and decorations. While some modest holiday exterior lighting is acceptable, you shouldn’t add that inflatable Santa and his eight reindeer. Any large and bulky lawn decorations will take away from the appearance of the home. You might think it adds to curb appeal, but what it’s really doing is hiding how great your lawn looks year-round.

A Green Lawn

It is tempting to let your lawn go during the winter months when grass doesn’t grow as fast. But if you are staging your home for a quick sale, you want to make sure you don’t ignore this part of your property. Make sure your grass is well tended, green, and inviting. Keep your walkways and driveway clear so that potential buyers can envision what it will be like to use that space.
