How to Prepare Your Property for Sale During the Holidays

How to prepare your property for sale during the holidays

Selling a property in the middle of the December holidays can seem like a major challenge with all the festive decorations adorning the house. However, with a few clever tips, you can not only maintain the holiday spirit but also present your home in its best light to attract potential buyers.

1. Limit outdoor decorations

While outdoor decorations provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere, it's important not to overdo it.

• Enhance your entrance with minimalist string lights.
• Consider a neutral or subtly patterned doormat.
• Ensure that all decorations do not obstruct views or access to the house.

For personalized advice, contact Jean-Chrystophe  Diotte, residential and commercial real estate broker Mascouche, Terrebonne and Repentigny, who will guide you in enhancing the entrance of your home in a way that attracts buyers.

2. Favor a clean interior decoration

Inside, keep the rooms simple so that they appear spacious and neutral to buyers.

• Use neutral colors and avoid overly personalized or flashy items.
• Limit yourself to a few key decorations that highlight your space, such as a simple door wreath or an elegant centerpiece.
• Be careful not to hide features of the house, like a fireplace or windows, behind too many decorations.

By discussing with Alexandre Jean, residential real estate broker Mascouche, Terrebonne, and Repentigny, you can get ideas on the best practices to maximize the appeal of your interior during the holidays.

3. Highlight the house's assets

Consider showcasing the strengths of your property that are only visible at this time of year.

• If you have a fireplace, make sure it is clean and ready to be lit to offer a warm atmosphere.
• Use ambient lighting to accentuate the features of your house, like a beautiful staircase or a nice veranda.

4. Schedule visits during quiet times

The holidays can be a busy time for many. Try to plan visits during times when potential buyers might have more availability.

• Opt for weekdays after work or weekend mornings.
• Make sure to keep your house clean and tidy at all times, as buyers may want to visit at the last minute.

5. Depersonalize and declutter

As always, one of the main goals when selling a house is to allow potential buyers to imagine their own life in this space.

• Store very personal items like family photos and souvenirs.
• Declutter spaces to make them appear larger.

By keeping these tips in mind, you'll be able to prepare your property for sale while retaining the festive spirit of the holidays. By adopting a balanced approach, you can entice potential buyers without sacrificing the magic of December.
