From the outside, Christmas lights and wreaths have a way of making even the most ordinary house look magical. Indoors, a Christmas tree, decorations and wrapped gifts create a wonderful homey feeling that sparks buyers imaginations. Christmas scents help sell. Seller s guides say that the most appealing scents for homebuyers include vanilla, cinnamon and pine. Around Christmas, your home is naturally filled with these smells home-baking, pine boughs, mulled cider all of which create a very appealing environment for buyers.
Buyers have more time.
Most people take a week or more off work during the holidays. For serious buyers, that means plenty of time to focus on finding the right home, making a decision and closing the deal. Some buyers even prefer to look around the holidays in order to avoid the rush during spring and fall peak periods. For couples, it may be the only time of year when they can both take a week off together and focus on house-hunting. Your Realtor will do the work.
