How to Stage Your Home to Sell this Winter

Welcome back. Today we are talking about selling homes during the holidays. A lot of people that put their home on the market at this time of year are unsure of how to decorate their homes. They want decorations to be festive, but not too cluttered because people are coming to see their home.

When decorating your home for sale during the holidays, you want to appeal to the mass audience. If you decorate for a specific holiday (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years), you will just have to redecorate once the holiday is over. Generic decorating with festive colors and non-specific ornaments will allow you to keep them up until January or even February.

On the outside of your home, keep lights to a minimum. You want potential buyers to be able to see your roof, your siding, and landscaping. Too many outdoor decorations can take away from that goal. Most showings won't take place at night.

If you have any questions about holiday decorating or listing your home in this market, give us a call. We can let you know if your plan to decorate will detract a potential buyer or not. Better safe than sorry!

Today we want to answer a question we get asked a lot around this time of year. The question is : "Is it a good idea to put my home on the market for sale in the winter?"

We say absolutely yes. The winter is actually one of the best times to put your home on the market. Here are 4 reasons why:

1. Low inventory
People are busy this time of year, and don't often have the time to put their home on the market, at least that's what they think. If you list your home during the winter, there is little competition for your home and it will stand out more among serious buyers

2. Buyers are serious

As we alluded to in the previous point, buyers that are out this time of year are serious. Would anybody be actively seeking out homes in freezing weather if they weren't? Buyers out during this winter, will want to buy this winter.

3. There is more time
A lot of people have vacation time built-up throughout the year, and use it during the end of the year so they don't lose it. This gives them more time to look at your home.

4. People are relocating
In addition to the increased time buyers have to look during the winter, companies often transfer their employees at the end of the year as well. Buyers who are relocating from another area will want to find and purchase a home before the new year starts. They have a lot of things to do and there is a lot of motivation to find the right home quickly.

There you have it , 4 great reasons to sell during the winter. If you are thinking about listing your home, or have any questions about the Denver market, please reach out to us. We have the answers your are looking for.

"Very professional, knowledgable, friendly... can't say enough good things! Most of our family is involved in the real estate business, so we were hesitant to use an agent when we relocated to Denver (both because we feel pretty comfortable with the process and because we didn't feel that agents generally offer services worthy of a 3-7% compensation). Glad The Anderson Group changed our minds!! In a market like Denver's, particularly, it pays to have a professional on your side who not only knows the area well, but also has a strong network that alerts him/her of potential properties before they even hit the market. The ultra fancy relo materials, beautiful office, and stellar communication were the unexpected bonuses! Oh, and the champagne toast at closing... love!! Thanks so much for a great home-buying experience!!"

"We used Ryan Anderson and the Anderson Group to sell our house. We are very happy with the results! He got us top dollar and definitely let us know what we needed to do to get our house ready and it sold very quickly. One of the things that we liked about working with Ryan was that he was a little different than other Realtors that we had used before. He had a business process that he laid out, and he talked about all of the issues about where we wanted to go. As you can see behind us is our new townhouse. Because not only did he sell our house but he wanted to know what we were going to do for the rest of our lives and the townhouse was part of that plan!"

“Well I'm down sizing, I wanted to get rid of the yard so that I didn’t have to shovel snow anymore. It was very difficult to find a place and bid on it quickly. But Ryan and his Anderson group move fast. We looked at this home on a Thursday and began negotiating. On Friday I climbed a Fourteener, I was on Greys Peak. Every time I was able to get signal on my phone I would get a text from Ryan to update me on where we were in the negotiation. I kept climbing the mountain and getting texts and by the time I came back down, I had a text that said I needed to stop at a place that I could get signal long enough to sign the contract. With my finger on my phone to sign the contract, I had a house by the end of the day after climbing a Fourteener! It's been great. The "get things done now" process was exactly what I needed. Ryan knew what I needed, because Ryan and Tessa sat down with me for a couple of hours and actually got to know my wants and needs. With that I have exactly what I want, I've downsized and I have time to play and it's because of the team... the whole team!”

Donna & Art

"He was wonderful! Great ideas and even helped staged our rooms one afternoon. We sold in 10 days! What a work horse. Will use him again and again."

David K.

"Ryan was amazing. He made every effort to make sure I got the right house for me. Always had numerous showings set up and was very efficient with my time. What I thought would take 2-3 months to find the perfect house he found in 3 weeks."
