Is a signed buyer’s contract on your Holiday wish list? Well if your Jersey City home is on the market it is possible that your wish could become reality. True there are fewer showings during the holidays, and fewer buyers too. The buyers who are out house hunting during the wintry days are usually very serious about buying. Moreover they are more relaxed and in a better mood and are ready to really pay attention to your home when they walk through.
This is the time for Jersey City sellers to pay attention to preparing their homes for the motivated buyer. Go ahead and deck the halls, it makes for a warm, inviting look, but deck the halls with restraint. Use colors sparingly, stick to 2 or 3. Silver, gold and white are classic colors and look pretty at all times. Don’t go over the top with ornaments, wreaths and garlands. Too many decorations can hide the beauty of your home, and distract buyers who are looking at walls, floors, windows and room sizes. A distracted buyer won’t buy your home, they leave quickly and move on to the next house on the market.
Finally beware of displaying decorations specific to your religious beliefs or culture, the next motivated and financially prepared buyer to walk through your door may not share the same beliefs as you do, and will therefore be less likely to see themselves comfortable in your living space.
