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

1. Limit exterior decorations

While exterior decorations provide a warm and welcoming ambiance, it is important not to overdo it.

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

2. Favor simple interior decoration

Inside, keep the rooms simple so they appear spacious and neutral to buyers. For personalized advice, feel free to consult Marie-Eve Dufresne, your residential and commercial real estate broker in Saint-Sulpice, L'Assomption, Repentigny, Lavaltrie.

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

3. Highlight the house's assets

Consider showcasing the strengths of your property that are visible only at this time of year. Marie-Eve Dufresne can help you identify and highlight these features in the Saint-Sulpice, L'Assomption, Repentigny, Lavaltrie region.

• If you have a fireplace, make sure it's clean and ready to be lit to offer a warm atmosphere.
• Use ambient lighting to accentuate your home's features, such as a beautiful staircase or a lovely veranda.

4. Organize visits during quiet times

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

• Favor weekdays after work or weekend mornings.
• Ensure your home is clean and tidy at all times, as buyers might want to visit at the last minute.

5. Depersonalize and declutter

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

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

By keeping these tips in mind, you will be able to prepare your property for sale while maintaining the festive holiday spirit.
