Deck The Halls!

Deck the halls! Decorate your home and enjoy the Christmas season - even if your home is on the market! Many sellers are reluctant to have their homes on the market during the Christmas holidays because they feel like buyers may not want to see a home decorated and not in it's everyday condition. But our experience tells us, that this is not an issue with most buyers. They welcome the opportunity to see a home all "decked out" with tree and other holiday decor trimmings because it allows them to get a glimpse of how they could decorate should they choose to buy that home. During showings at any time of year, we often hear buyers make comments on "where we can put our Christmas tree" as they tour a home! Or they sometimes will conjure up ideas of how to decorate the fireplace mantel, sometimes even mentioning "plenty of room for Christmas stockings"! Greenery, garland and bows are also mentioned from time to time when buyers are admiring a front porch railing or an interior staircase.

Buyers are also curious at times about the size of window sills in order to accomodate window candles. Or if there are exterior outlets to run drop cords for floodlights. Another Christmas decor question we get from time to time is about the "Christmas Switch" which refers to a single switch that is used to turn all the window candles and floodlights on & off at once without having to go from window to window or run outdoors last thing before bedtime to unplug the floodlights shining on the front door! Some newer homes had these switches wired in during construction and they connect all the top receptacles in the outlets underneath the windows together sometimes along with the outdoor outlets near the front door.

Christmas is a great time to showcase your home's festive personality - and possibly get the sale you have been looking for! It's a great time to sell your home in Wilson. Give us a call!
