Selling Your Home Over the Holidays
Many recognize this time of year as an opportunity to celebrate with friends and family, but it is also a time when homes are purchased and sold. If your home is currently on the market or soon to be listed, here are some tips to attracting a buyer:
1.As always, less is more. Pack away any photos, trophies and other personal items. It may seem to you a bit impersonal, but it allows potential buyers the opportunity to see themselves and their own personal treasures within your home.
2.Keep your holiday décor to a minimum. If tolerable, keep your holiday decorations packed away for another season. Some might find overtly religious décor offensive, so it’s best to keep to a winter theme instead. Try winter pinecones in a basket or other Fall and Winter items.
3.Photos, Photos, Photos. Due to inclement weather, fewer interested buyers will be out and about this season, so be sure your home is represented well in photos and virtual tours online. As we know, most potential buyers start their home search on the internet, but this time of year it is even more critical given the weather. If available, hire a professional photographer to take photos of your home.
Selling your home over the holidays can be challenging, but it is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of serious buyers that may have more free time for house hunting – especially while other homes may have been pulled off the market.
