Do Christmas decorations help sell a house? I had a discussion recently about whether a seller should put up decorations or wait. Here are my thoughts.
PROS: If you put them up, it gives the house a very warm feeling. It might help prospective buyers to feel the personality of the house and to imagine living there. Nothing beats the sounds and smells of a warm fire and/or apple cider on the stove. There are decorative holiday lights that can add ambiance to a room.
CONS:You want to make sure that it doesn't add additional clutter. With the addition of a Christmas tree, a den or living room can feel much smaller. Make sure the tree size matches the room.Some homes overdo it and put knick-knacks EVERYWHERE. Be sparse and tasteful in what you put out. Avoid pictures or ornaments that have pictures or names of your family, friends or relatives. Make it as generic as possible.
Any other thoughs from you would be welcomed.
