Around this time last year I wrote an article about selling a home during the holidays with a focus on the question, should you decorate? I thought it was timely enough now to bring it back again because as we approach the various holidays this season, you may be questioning whether on not you should decorate while selling. It's a valid question and one to consider.
In general my recommendation would be, yes, go ahead and decorate, just do it in moderation! Afterall, you'd like the buyers to remember the large dining area that is great for entertaining, not your vintage collection of porcelain Santas that took center stage.
A decorated home is usually warm and inviting, if not over the top. Keep lawn decor to a minimum and the same rules apply to your interior. Once the season is over, make sure you pack and put away those items for your move. After all your objective is to sell the house isn't it? Don't put those holiday decorations in the attic, put them in storage and get prepared to move!
For more recommendations and tips please check out this article: Selling a Home during the Holidays? Should you Decorate?
I wish you all a very happy holiday season and a successful sale of your home!
