When selling your house during the holiday season, it’s hard to argue with the fact that glitter lights and colorful accents make a home look more cheerful and inviting. But buyers need to have an easy time imagining themselves, and their own holiday traditions, in your home. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we know you don’t have to ditch the holiday decorations altogether but you shouldn’t hang all the boughs of holly, Christmas lights, Hanukkah menorahs, and every holiday card you receive, either. It’s important the design appeals to as many different home buyers and tastes as possible. That means avoiding the personal decorations that appeal mostly to you and your family such as: religious tokens, personalized tree ornaments your kids made in preschool or hanging your holiday cards around in your house. Classic is always best so hang an elegant wreath on the front door rather than a “Santa stops here” sign. Simple white lights can add a festive touch without blinding buyers during walk-throughs.

It might be a good idea to skip the Christmas tree altogether. If it’s too big, it distracts viewers and can make the room seem small. It can also block the flow and make the space seem crowded. And if it’s tiny, it’s depressing and sad. Decorate a tree only if you have a great room and you want to show off a high ceiling.
