How to prepare your property for sale during the holidays

Selling a property in the middle of the December holidays may seem like a big 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 showcase your home at its best to attract potential buyers. For personalized and professional support, contact Martin Buisson, certified real estate broker in Laval, or Mariya Tarasova, residential real estate broker.

1. Limit outdoor decorations

Although outdoor decorations give 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.

2. Favor a refined interior decoration

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

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

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 period for many. Try to schedule visits during times when potential buyers might be more available.

• Prefer weekdays after work or weekend mornings.
• Ensure your home is 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 envision their own life in the space.

• Store very personal items like 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 spirit of the holidays. By adopting a balanced approach, you can attract potential buyers without sacrificing the magic of December.
