The Christmas Dilemma
By Mike Lightbourn
TO decorate a home that’s on the market during the holiday season or not? This can be challenging for several reasons. The last thing a seller should do is clutter a home that’s for sale and a Christmas display can be a real distraction. And then, not everyone believes in Christmas, so a holiday display may not strike the right chord. Is it worth decorating when you should be boxing stuff up instead? On the flip side, the holiday season can be used to a seller’s advantage. The key is to keep everything simple and create a warm, happy atmosphere. If you want a tree, go ahead and put one up. Be sure it’s the right size for the room and remove a piece of furniture or two if the room becomes crowded. It’s important to have the furniture and tree in proper proportion. Use fairy lights and simple tasteful ornaments if you must adorn the tree. Keep everything clean and simple. Avoid anything flashy. Do not clutter the room with Christmas accessories. Throw some mosquito bits in the water to prevent the larvae from hatching. Often overlooked, tree water has great potential for mosquito breeding. A few bites around the ankles will leave a bad impression on prospects. OUTDOOR DECORATIONS Curb appeal is critical. Using lights can be a stylish and festive way to create a welcoming entrance. Wrap lights from the base of a tree
upwards and make sure you use weatherproof material and connection boxes. Potential buyers want to be able to envisage themselves living in that setting. Being greeted by a display of gaudy lights and inflatable Christmas characters may be a bit unsettling, to say the least. You may think it’s merry, but a buyer may find it garish. Turn on all the indoor lights – whether day or night – to show off the property. Light up the outside for night time drive-bys and showings. As with indoor decorating, keep outdoor holiday displays simple. PLAYING TO THE SENSES The holiday season presents a good opportunity to please us and play to the senses. Don’t let a showing stop you from baking goodies if you want to. Leave a plate of cookies out for any prospects who may come to look at the home. You may use very subtle citrus scents. The smell of lemon and orange is emotionally uplifting. A crystal bowl of tangerines on the dining table adds a festive touch. Avoid artificial cinnamon and vanilla aromas. Some people have an aversion to them. ASK A PROFESSIONAL Consider consulting a home-staging professional for tips on holiday decorating and decorating in general A professional stager will provide invaluable advice on how to play up the best features of your home to increase the chance of a quick sale. It may be as simple as decluttering, but a professional will look at your home with a fresh, trained eye and see things you may have overlooked in a new light.
