Showing your Naples, Florida home over the holidays can be challenging, but it also targets serious buyers who are searching during vacation or winter time spent in Naples or anywhere in Southwest Florida. Additionally, December is a deadline for those buyers looking to make an investment before the new fiscal year begins.
Yes, this will be a hectic time, but there are things you can do to make the process easier.
As a seller, you’ll want to remove as many personal items as you can. This rule holds true during the holidays as well. Less is defintely more and while it may be tough to keep your holiday cheer and decorations to a bare minimum, you’ll want to to ensure your home looks uncluttered.
It’s also important to remember that other cultures may find overly religious holiday decorating offensive. The best way to remain non-offesive is to just skip the holiday decorating altogether. While this may seem like a tall order, it will allow the potential buyers to envision themsleves living in the home, thus increasing your odds of getting an offer. If you must decorate, one option is to replace your holiday decorating with winter decorations, such as pine cones and winter foliage, as opposed to religious themes. However, you’ll want to avoid covering up features that will sell your home such as the winding staircase or windows.
Another important point to consider is that most start their searches on the internet, even during the holidays, so be sure to have the best possible photos of your home online, even if it means hiring a photographer. You’ll want to make the most of this time by making your home worth a look to a potential buyer! You don’t have to suffer through the holidays waiting to list your home. Follow these guidelines now and list your home now while others wait – you’ll have the advantage!
