The Do's and Don'ts of listing your home for sale in December

Contemplating a 'For Sale' sign among your December decorations?

Here are a few thoughts to help you minimize stress, stay in the festive spirit, and secure a quick sale: 

The Do’s

1) Embrace the season: Decorate tastefully to showcase your home's holiday charm and help buyers envision their own future celebrations in your space.

2) Cozy up: Create a warm, inviting atmosphere with soft lighting, comfy throws, and delightful scents (try Stovetop Christmas Potpourri — it’s a game-changer).

3) Stay flex: December is a hectic time for everyone. Be accommodating with showing schedules to make the process smoother for all parties involved.

The Don'ts

1) Overdo decor: Less is more when it comes to holiday decorations. Avoid overwhelm and let your home's layout, lighting, and features shine.

2) Forget basic upkeep: Amidst the holiday hustle, remember essential home upkeep. A well-maintained home makes a first — and lasting — impression on buyers.

3) Over-personalize: Clear out personal items and excess clutter to help buyers visualize living within your four walls.
