Friday I was with clients showing properties and I noticed that none of the homes displayed any Holiday decorations. I guess it’s possible these sellers did not recognize the Christmas season, but it made me wonder if Seller’s refrain from decorating for the holidays because their house is on the market and if so…why?
I’ve had clients of mine ask if it was ok and I’ve always said “absolutely”! Just because your home is on the market, doesn’t mean your life comes to a stand still (although it can often feel that way). If tastefully done, Christmas and holiday decor can enhance the warmth and character that make a house a home…..enabling the buyer to envision where he/she would put their tree, or how they would decorate.
As with everything else in your house during the listing period, less is more. Decorate, but don’t over do it. More than anything, you want your Holiday decor to enhance your home, not overwhelm it.
Enjoy the Season!
