Tips to Sell Your Nashville TN Home During the Holidays
While the holiday season is a hectic time to show and sell your house, there are distinct advantages to staging and showing your home during the holidays. Nothing is more inviting than a home brimming with greenery, twinkling lights and holiday decorations. FrontDoor.com has an article with some great tips to Sell Your Home During the Holidays. I’ve outlined the article and the tips below to help you sell your Nashville, Brentwood or Franklin TN home this holiday season……
While the thought of selling your home during the winter months may dampen your holiday spirit, the season does have its advantages: holiday home buyers tend to be more serious, and competition is less fierce with fewer homes being actively marketed.
- Deck the halls, but don’t go overboard. Homes often look their best during the holidays, but sellers should be careful not to overdo it on the decor. Adornments that are too large or too many can crowd your home and distract buyers. Choose decorations with a general winter or holiday theme to avoid alienating buyers. You may even consider hiring a professional home stager to make certain your home appeals to a wide range of buyers. If you list your Middle TN home for sale with me, I’ll provide the services of a Professional Home Stager ! Click here to see a professional home stager in action.
- Hire a reliable real estate agent. That means someone who will work hard for you and won’t disappear during Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s. This will ease your stress and give you more time to enjoy the season. Click here to see Why Nashville, Franklin and Brentwood Home Sellers Choose Me.
- Seek out motivated buyers. Anyone house hunting during the holidays must have a good reason for doing so. Work with your agent to target buyers on a deadline, including people relocating for jobs in your area. I work extensively with several large companys assisting with their employee Middle TN relocations so I have a large pool of motivated home buyers on a deadline!
- Price to sell. No matter what time of year, a home that’s priced low for the market will make Nashville home buyers feel merry. Click here to see what other homes in your neighborhood have sold for.
- Make curb appeal a top priority. When autumn rolls around and the trees start to lose their leaves, maintaining the exterior of your home becomes even more important. Bare trees equal a more exposed home, so touch up the paint, clean the gutters and spruce up the yard. Keep buyers’ safety in mind as well by making sure stairs and walkways are free of snow, ice and leaves.
- Take top-notch real estate photos. When the weather outside is frightful, TN homebuyers are likely to start their house hunt from the comfort of their homes by browsing listings on the Internet. Make a good first impression by offering lots of flattering, high-quality photos of your home. If possible, have a summer or spring photo of your home available so buyers can see how it looks year-round.
I have many years of experience taking photos that showcase the best your Nashville home has to offer. When you list your home with me I’ll take top quality digital photos and use them to market your property all across the web….. Yahoo Real Estate, Microsoft MSN HomeAdvisor, Craigslist, REALTOR.com and other top national sites. I can place your home on my web site and blog site within a few minutes time! - Create a video tour for the Web. You’ll get less foot traffic during the holidays, thanks to inclement weather and vacation plans. But shooting a video tour and posting it on the Web may attract house hunters who don’t have time to physically visit your home or would rather not drive in a snowstorm.
See one of my Franklin TN listing’s video tours. - Give house hunters a place to escape from the cold. Make your home feel cozy and inviting during showings by cranking up the heat, playing soft classical music and offering homemade holiday treats like cookies and eggnog. When you encourage buyers to spend more time in your home, you also give them more time to admire its best features.
- Offer holiday cheer in the form of home loan financing. Bah, humbug! Lenders are scrooges these days, but if you’ve got the means, then why not offer a home loan to a serious buyer? You could get a good rate of return on your money. Click here for more TN Mortgage information.
- Relax — the new year is just around the corner. Thanksgiving and Christmas are stressful enough, with gifts to buy, dinners to prepare and relatives to entertain.
