Should I Decorate If I am Going to List?

Should I decorate for the Holidays?

<!-- .entry-meta -->

Should I decorate? One of the most asked questions when I meet with a potential home seller during holiday season.

I’m not one to tell someone they should not decorate and get festive for the Holiday Season, however the key to staging the home must include being uncluttered. While I don’t do holiday staging, I will give examples of keeping the decorating to a minimum during selling.
Sellers must remember, everyone has a different taste for their own decor, so neutral is best.

We certainly do not want over decorating to turn off potential buyers!

Making sure the decorating doesn’t take away room space, counter space and wall space. I have seen some homes decorated with a minimum amount, but looks very nice.
In the case of holiday decorating my advice to a seller is ” less is more “

Good Morning Steve

Over decorating is not a good idea.  I have to agree with that. The tree adds warmth to the home.  I like it.

I think some decorating is still nice in the Holiday season if the clutter is kept down.

I think it's ok to decorate minimally, but just don't take the photos going into MLS while it is!
