Stand Out

Many sellers decide to skip the holiday season and wait to list their homes in the new year, so you can take advantage of this. There's often a lull in the market so when your home appears it will draw a lot of attention and will have less competition. Many businesses slow during the holidays, so people often have flexible work hours and more time off. While people are off from work, they can use this free time to come see your home and possibly make an offer.

Light It Up

During the holiday season it is perfectly acceptable and most definitely encouraged to embrace the festive spirit. Hang a wreath on your front door and se a few strings of lights to make the outside of your home look warm and glowing. Head inside and hang a little mistletoe in the doorway or display a snowglobe as a table centerpiece. Don't go too crazy because the last thing you'd want is for the decorations to look cluttered and take away from your home. Think of the winter decorations as accent pieces and they will likely have a positive affect on your home making it looks even more dazzling that normal. 

Come On In

Open your doors to friends, family, and neighbors and showcase your beautiful home. Plan an open house type party and help get the word out that your selling your home. Offer drinks and small bites and set the mood with music played on low. People you know can come see for themselves and if they like what they see they will be sure to spread the word to their friends, family, and neighbors creating more and more people of possible interest. Word of mouth and recommedations are still very popular and trusted forms of marketing strategies.
