manhattan: South Bay Home Staging for the Holidays - 12/02/11 01:30 PM
Should a Seller “Stage” Their South Bay Home for the Holidays?

 Your home can especially stand out above the competition during “the most wonderful time of the year.” From Halloween through New Year’s, home shoppers during the busy holidays are typically very serious, looking for that perfect home that calls to them. The right amount of holiday decorations can make your home even more welcoming and desirable.

This is not the time to empty every box in your holiday inventory, however. Overdoing it with cutesy items on every surface is likely to distract from the home itself, defeating the purpose.
