Detroit Real Estate

In the last few minutes I have read some blogs that sounded like "used car salesmen".  I'm sorry but I love the holidays.  Too me Christmas is a magical time of the year.  I love giving gifts.  I love twinkling sparkling lights.  I love a fresh snowfall Christmas week.  I love the happiness the holidays bring to so many people.

So all they hype of not decorating your home because it distracts buyers goes against my grain.  Sure it is true decorating may distract a buyer.  But what about the buyer that does expect to see a Christmas tree?  A beautifully decorated tree would make me feel at home.  Sure over the top decorating may turn some buyers off.  But a home at that isn't decorated at Christmas would turn me off.  It wouldn't be my home.  I probably won't buy the home.

What I am saying is that the decorations would depend on the buyer whether it is a distraction or a benefit. (YES THE ABOVE TREE IS OVERBOARD)

But the way I look at it is that you only have so many Christmases on this earth.  With my wife Marianne being sick I realize it even more.  So putting the house on the market right away during the holidays or because holiday home buyers are more serious over the holidays is just "used car" tactics.

Enjoy the holidays, make this one special for you and your family.  Don't let the scrooge the real estate person ruin your holidays.  Your house will sell to the right buyer after the holidays too.
