Selling Your Portsmouth NH Home During The Holidays

Home and condo owners in Portsmouth NH…

and elsewhere, always ask questions about what to do during the holidays with regards to their decorations.  That’s a great question and one that should be taken seriously, by both the agent and the sellers, whether you’re selling a condo or a home.

Less is best, as the saying goes.  Not all potential buyers will appreciate a heavily decorated home, nor will all potential home buyers have the same taste you have in decorations.

The goal is to get your Portsmouth home or condo sold…

….and you want all buyers to be able to see your home and not be caught up in looking at your decorations.  Some fresh greens in a few areas, and maybe some holiday-colored candles would be something festive and simple to use.  Some nice white lights add a nice touch, and also serve to light the outside of your house as a welcoming gesture.

A recent article in the Portsmouth Herald has some great tips for holiday decorating – “Selling Your Home? Go Easy On Holiday Decor”.  Use this as a professional guide to help you with your holiday decorating.

Remember to Fall Back…

We’ve had such a gorgeous fall with all the brilliant foliage around our Portsmouth NH homes that I didn’t want you (or me!) to forget about setting the clocks back an hour this weekend…..

If you’re like me, and a little bit sleep deprived, you’ll get a treat on Sunday with an extra hour of sleep.  And of course, the flip side of that is that it’ll be dark way too soon each day.  ;-(

Enjoy your weekend!

Sell Your Portsmouth NH Home Faster and For More Money

Trying to sell your Portsmouth NH home or condo?

If you are, then you know competing for today’s buyers is quite challenging, to say the least.

Want to increase the chances of those buyers wanting to make your Portsmouth home theirs!

You need to go the extra step or two to make your house as welcoming and inviting as you can, and that means from the curb to the inside.

In a recent article in the Portsmouth Herald, an article “Staging Helps Home Sale Speed and Price”, the author talked about the benefits of making sure your home is properly presented to potential buyers, and ways to go about doing that.  Be sure to check out that article for more detailed information on the staging process and how it can help in the home-selling process.

Getting your Portsmouth NH home sold in today’s real estate market….

….means working with your experienced professional NH REALTOR – setting the proper price and setting the right presentation of your home.

For buyers in today’s market, it’s the EXPERIENCE they feel when they view your home, and you want that to be the very best it can be, from the first moment they lay eyes on your home from the street.  That exterior curb appeal has to be such that it makes them want to come see the inside of the home.  Once they’re inside, you want your entryway to speak to them and beckon them in further.

Getting things right from the start – price and presentation – will help your home sell quicker than the competition and typically for the most money the market will bear.  It’s all about attention to detail and the experience!

Scarecrows of the Port | Portsmouth NH Homes

If you make your home in Portsmouth NH, or have been visiting and wishing you had a Portsmouth New Hampshire home, you’ve most likely seen all the endearing scarecrows that have popped up all around the downtown area.

Some just kinda sneak up on you, and others are right out there and easily spotted.

These Scarecrows of the Port are the brainchild of volunteers from the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce, and various businesses around town added some scarecrows of their own this year.  “The Scarecrows of the Port began last year when the submarine USS New Hampshire was commissioned.  It was suggested that the scarecrows would be a good draw to the city and give the submarine event another perspective of Portsmouth.”, quoted from The Portsmouth Herald.

Take a drive around the downtown Portsmouth area and see how many of these fun scarecrows you can spot!  Every time I drive through town, I see another 1 or 2 that I hadn’t seen before.  And to make sure you’re not missing any, make sure to check out the video and map available at the Scarecrows of the Port website.

Don’t wait too long to see these scary but lovable Portsmouth NH Scarecrows – they’ll only hanging out around town until November 1st……  if you miss them, you’ll have to wait until next fall to see them again….
