December is the perfect time to Stage. Staging in Burlington

By
Home Stager

Most Buyers are focusing on Christmas with their families right now. This means  December is not the best time to put your house on the market. 

But as a Seller, it is a great time to start prepping your home for the early Spring market. 

Put a plan together with the help of a Professional Home Stager. You will get an objective assessment of your home's condition. 

You will know:

  • what needs updating
  • if a renovation will pay
  • what needs painting and the colors to use for best effect
  • how the Buyer will view your home
  • what repairs should be made before going on the market
  •  the best presentation of each space
  • how to prioritize the projects

Once you have your plan, you will be able to set aside time for each project. You will be able to take a realistic look at your budget and spend your money where it will do the most good.  

By the time the Buyers are over the holidays and ready to do some serious looking for their next home you will be ready for them. 

Don't waste the slow period. 

Start prepping now.

Janice- it's a slow period for some but there are always buyers.  You're exactly right... get ready to jump on the market as soon as the holidays are over.  Don't wait until it's too late.

Janice some great tips for those folks in areas where it doesn't make sense to put their homes on the market until after the holidays.  Begin prepartions while the elves are hard at work!

The more time you have to prepare your home for sale, the less stress you will feel doing it!

Janice, In my experience, most sellers underestimate how much time it will take them to prepare their home. De-cluttering can be a daunting and time-consuming task. With a plan it is easily managed.
