Does home staging during the holiday season really make sense? You might think that there are less buyers out there or that it doesn’t matter. You may feel that there’s too much going on and you just can’t deal with one more thing…but the reality is…
1. There are less buyers during the holidays so if you must sell your house, doesn’t it make sense to take the time to really prepare it well? Buyers can be pickier when they are fewer in numbers. They have a lot of properties to choose from so home staging helps your house really stand out.
2. During the holidays you may have home parties, office parties or business events going on, but that’s actually a good reason to seek the advice of a professional home stager. They can help you get your house in order so it’s actually easier. By clearing out the clutter and packing up some of the extra stuff you won’t need, you make it easier to keep the house in great showing condition. And if you choose to do some decorating this season, a home stager can advise you on how much and what kinds of decorations to put up. Don’t overdue it, but keep it tasteful and don’t overshadow the house.
Home staging is still the key to get your house sold in the least amount of time for the best price. Show it well and it will sell! I’ve staged houses just before Christmas – and everyone of them has sold – one sold in 2 weeks, just before Christmas! Another sold in 1 month and others sell in 4-6 weeks.
So, don’t neglect good home staging just because it’s the holidays and because you’re busy. Remember, a professional home stager can be a big help. They can either pitch-in and do much or all of the work – or they can find other professionals to do some of it.
