We hope that everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving. We are now in the full swing of the holidays. If you are selling your Black Hills home during this holiday season, the décor you use may make it or break it for you.
Here are a few tips:
- Less is more – When a potential buyer views your home they want to be able to see themselves living in that space in the future. When it comes to holiday decorations go with the “less-is-more” approach. A few subtle touches are all you need. A nice welcoming wreath, a beautiful Christmas tree, and a lovely centerpiece at your table are great holiday decorations to consider.
- Safety – Your safety and those visiting your home is important. All the walkways in your home should be free of decorations that may cause a tripping hazard. If you have outdoor Christmas lights double check to make sure all cords are secure and out of a walkway. The last thing any home seller needs is a lawsuit.
- Interior Décor – When placing holiday décor throughout your home be mindful that you are not hiding your home’s best assets. Too much clutter can quickly hide your home’s unique and best qualities. For instance, if you have a fireplace mantel there is no need to cover every inch. Instead, feature it with a few strategically placed holiday items.
- Curb Appeal – Curb appeal may be the most important thing when it comes to selling your Black Hills home. If a potential buyer is turned off by the outside of your home they more than likely will not want to see the inside. Too much outdoor holiday décor can come across as cluttered. Try using only a few of your most cherished and favorite items this year.
