“Major Mom is a Major Difference”
While listing your home during the holidays can result in serious showings, there
may be a few extra things to consider.
The commercialization of Christmas has moved the seasonal calendar back each year. Homes are decked out even before Thanksgiving. The sense of home created by holiday decorations may be great for showings but be careful, too much of a

what Hawaii buyers are looking for. Over decorating can a l s o m a k e a h u g e d i f f e r e n c e
decorations can make it difficult for a buyer to get a sense of the property. I speak from personal experience. We once listed our home right before Christmas. From the looks of the photos, I was following the “more is better” school
of decorating. The photos looked great. Trouble was, they were more appropriate for a Lillian Vernon Catalog than a house ad. I quickly realized that it was a mistake to have taken photos which included holiday decorations. One of the biggest benefits of the internet is that buyers arrive armed with much more information than those searching in a conventional fashion. Buyers, even local ones, want
to make the most of their time; they are excited about the task at hand. They study on-line photos for even the smallest details in advance. Too much holiday
cheer cluttering the photo really hinders their efforts. In the best of circumstances, too much stuff tends to weigh down the home. Unfortunately, more often than not, holiday decorations in ad photos give the perception that the home has been listed since the previous year! When photos are left on-line after the holidays, it may help to add the year to the photo captions but it’s really best to have the photos re-taken once decorations are removed. As I mentioned, selling at Christmas can be a great idea. Christmas showings can evoke an important sense of nostalgia but it may be wise to focus less on Decking the Halls and more on having yourself a Merry LITTLE Christmas. After all, a sold home could have you singing Joy to the World even before New Year’s rolls around!
