People often ask if they should decorate their home while it is on the market. As a general rule, it is best to keep things neutral while your house is listed. That doesn't mean you have to have a stark-looking house, but you certainly don't want to go overboard. You can display some festive candles or pine cones by the hearth. Multiple lawn ornaments and an overabundance of lights are a no-no.
Also, you want to keep in mind that if pictures were taken with the decorations present, make sure NEW pictures are taken when the holidays are over. There's nothing like seeing a listing in June with pictures of a snowman and a Christmas tree....but it happens!!
Because selling your home is so stressful, it can actually be relaxing to decorate. When you're done, you can sit by a fire, enjoy hot coco and reminisce. Merry Christmas!
