The holidays are a time for joy, family, and…selling your house? Believe it or not, December can be a surprisingly good time to list your property. With twinkling lights, festive decorations, and a general sense of goodwill in the air, buyers can be more receptive to cozy homes and warm vibes.
If you’re thinking of making a move this merry season, here are 5 tips to help you deck the halls and list your walls for a successful sale:
-
Highlight the holiday charm. Embrace the festive spirit! Decorate your home with tasteful holiday touches, but avoid going overboard. Think fresh greenery, twinkling lights, and a centerpiece that smells like cinnamon and pine.
-
Warm up the welcome. Let potential buyers envision themselves cozying up by the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa. Stage your home for winter with plush throws, warm blankets, and scented candles.
-
Open house with a holiday twist. Instead of your standard open house, host a holiday cookie decorating party or a festive wreath-making workshop. This will attract more potential buyers and create a memorable experience.
-
Get creative with your marketing. Use festive language in your listing descriptions and social media posts. Highlight the “après-ski” potential of a sunroom or the “snow day-ready” movie theater in the basement.
-
Be flexible with showings. People are busy during the holidays, so be willing to accommodate showings at odd hours or even on weekends.
Remember, the holidays are a time for miracles. So go ahead, put your best foot (and your most festive doormat) forward, and watch your “For Sale” sign turn into a “Sold!” banner.
