However, selling your home during the holiday season does have some advantages. Competition in the real estate market is generally less fierce, so the chances of selling your Edmonton home may be higher. However, there are certain dos and don’ts you should be aware of.
These tips will give you a competitive advantage as you sell your Edmonton home during the holidays.
Decorating our home is one of joys of celebrating Christmas. Don’t let selling your home stop you and your family from experiencing the joy of decorating your home for Christmas. Decorate and live in your home but reduce the amount of time your home is decorated for. Only decorate your home between mid-December to early January.
Limit the number of visitors you invite to your home. While having a big crowd at your home is fun and exciting during the holidays, your potential buyers may feel uncomfortable and easily get distracted. Try to avoid having family stay with you during the holidays to ensure that your home is never too crowded.
As with non-holidays, decluttering is an essential part of home staging during the holidays. Even though you are decorating in your home, don’t go overboard. Avoid adornments that are too large or too many as they will make your home look cluttered. Make sure your home is free of clutter.
Be mindful of these 3 tips as you stage and sell your home during the holidays to appeal to real estate buyers.
