How you can use decorating your home for Christmas to your advantage when selling.
If your home is on the market for sale, you might be wondering what you should do about viewings during the Christmas period. Well, wonder no more. Selling your home during the festive period could be a secret advantage and work very much in your favour. Read on to find out why…
Is there anything more welcoming on a cold wintery day than walking into a warm, toasty place filled with festive cheer and fairy lights as the scent of pine trees and candy canes hit you?
Even a supermarket or a shopping centre can feel warm and inviting when it is cold outside. Lights and decorations can make us smile when put up on the local high street as you rush around and the light fades. So why wouldn't you want to recreate that cost feeling when trying to sell your property?
Bring on the festive spirit: Whether you decide to serve mince pies to your viewers or have a calming Christmas playlist on as background music, festive cheer is sure to make your viewers feel welcome and happy in your home.
Keep it tasteful: There is a time and place for garish decorations and really going to town, particularly if you have young children. But if you are trying to sell your home this Christmas, you would be better off presenting your Christmas Grotto with tasteful, coordinated decorations. Think Harvey Nichols styling, not Smyths Toys.
Light the fires: Ramp up the cosiness of your home by lighting all of the fires in the home. Consider lighting candles for a cosy ambience if you don't have a fireplace.
Whilst Christmas takes over our lives for a few weeks each year, there is no need to take your home off the market during this time. In fact, if a viewer takes the time out of their busy schedule to view a property, they are likely very serious purchasers. Another benefit for you will be the lower volume of properties available on the market at this time.
Many other homeowners will either have removed their property from the market or will be waiting until the new year to launch, so those serious buyers we just mentioned have fewer options to search for. A lower supply of properties on the market can only be a good thing for sellers who are staying on the market, right?
