Lincolnton Real Estate
   HOLIDAY STAGING The Holiday Season is here and is traditionally the 2nd strongest season for real estate sales. Kids are back at school and the cooler weather seems to invigorate the home buying urge. Sellers can take advantage of this time of year by staging their homes with a seasonal twist. Holidays is all about getting cozy. To give warmth to interiors, change your cool blue light bulbs to a golden hue and increase the wattage to bring extra light into each area. If you have a fireplace, light a fire when buyers come over and have a pot of apple cider and cinnamon simmering on the stove. You shouldn’t go overboard with the decorations, but Houses do show better when decorated for the Holidays! Adding luxurious towels, bedspreads, accent pillows and throws in rich, warm, Holiday colors is a subtle way to remind buyers of the season, while still giving them the space to imagine themselves living there. 11. Selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the spring, when many more houses are on the market for less money! This will allow you to sell high and buy low! 10. You can sell now for more money and we will provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year! 9. Even though your house will be on the market, you still have the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days around the Holidays! 8. January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs. Since transferees cannot wait until spring to buy, you need to be on the market during the Holidays to capture that market! 7. Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons! 6. Buyers have more time to look for a home during the holidays than they do during a working week! 5. Buyers are more emotional during the Holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price! 4. Houses show better when decorated for the Holidays! 3. Since the supply of listings will dramatically increase in January, there will be less demand for your particular home! Less demand means less money for you! 2. Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the Holidays and less competition means more money for you! And the Number One reason why you should list your home during the Holidays… 1. People who look for homes during the Holidays are more serious buyers! .
