Things to do in December to help your home to sell.

Decorate Your Front Door for the Holidays

If the holidays snuck up on you this year, don’t worry! There’s still plenty of time to decorate your home. One project you can tackle pretty quickly, that will make a big festive impact, is your front door. Find some inspiration to create a beautiful door decoration below.

Mittens - Tie a pair of mittens together and fill them with greenery, white branches, berries, pinecones, and other seasonal accents. 

Christmas Tree Wreath - Save the bottom branches that you cut off your Christmas tree to make a door wreath. Use some wire or string to tie the branches together in a wreath shape. Decorate the wreath with bows, ornaments, or seasonal flowers.

Herbs - Rosemary grows to around four feet in height, so it’s a great size to weave together into a wreath shape. Adding some thyme, berries, and ribbon will help to fill your wreath out and enhance the festive feel. Hang the wreath on your door, and each time you open it, you’ll waft a breeze of fresh herbs inside.

 

3 Steps to Take Before Listing Your Home

If you’re thinking about listing your home in the new year, there are some preparatory steps you can start on now to get ready!

Declutter - We all accumulate a lot of stuff, especially during the holidays, but when buyers look at your home, they’ll be looking to see if your home has enough storage space to fit their needs. Make sure your cupboards, cabinets, and closets aren’t overfilled to better highlight the storage space in your home. If you start packing up the items you don’t use a lot now, you’ll be that much closer to being ready for listing photos and showings.

Neutralize the space - If your home currently has a lot of bold paint or floor colors, you may want to consider going with neutral colors or grays. A more neutral color scheme helps potential buyers envision their own decor and color preferences in the home.

Figure out your home’s worth - When you’re ready, I can come over and take a look at your home to help you determine how much it’s worth in the current market. Any renovations or upgrades you’ve made over the years could have an effect on your list price.

Your sellers better be listening to what you have to say since you know what needs to be done for a home to sell for top-dollar.
