The lights are up, the Afghans are casually thrown over the couch, the fire is lit, and the holiday season is suddenly apparent in every flippin nook and cranny of our homes.
No other season compares in coziness to this one.
Cozy Factor? 57. Out of 10.
It’s one of the reasons people are so surprised to hear it’s a fabulous time to list your house!
They say you really have a buyer when they begin to imagine their life, their couch, their kids...in the home they are looking at.
What better way to grab them by
the peppermint-cocoa balls than now?
When is your home ever more cozy?
More inviting?
More filled with family, memory-making, and yummy smells?
Never!
And with fewer houses on the market, your fruitcake baking in the oven may possibly be the difference between selling quickly for a great price than sitting on it all Spring!
Which is, let’s be honest, the most that fruitcake has ever done for you. Or anyone.
It’s fruitcake, people.
Please stop.
But hang those garlands!
Throw candles around like there’s a power outage.
and your potential buyers will be too busy looking at
Oscar’s pawprint stocking,
dabbing their eyes with tissue, to wonder if the closet space is ample or if the granite “speaks” to them.
This is the season that offers a WOW! factor like no other season can.
So deck those halls, trim those trees, hang that holly and wait for the offers with a cup of eggnog in hand.
And for the love of Saint Nick, stop with fruitcake.
