Quick poll

A room will look bigger without the tree and room decorations up. So it's best to give the room a feel of as much space as you can.

Decorations down, people rarely share the same taste in Christmas decorations so would probably not influence buyers.

I am awaiting photos being taken for the brochure for my house sale - we are waiting for a clear non-Bank Holiday - the views from here are critical to its appeal, so fog and grey clouds are no good! I did not put any decorations up this year at all, as I did not know when they were coming.

I would take them down if I were you.

Down

Take down personal pictures and knick knacks.

Down plus proper staging. Open all windows a few hours before for an air out. Then boil water and cinnamon with orange peels before people go over to make it smell lovely and warm.

No crazy artwork or clutter.

You could take the cards down (too personal) and leave one or two 'classy' decorations up, but not too many.

I suppose it depends how good your decs are. I think our house looks better with them up - and as a traditionalist, I like to see them up until Twelfth Night. Perhaps just leave the tree and some lights?

Decs down, I think, and ornaments mostly put away. Flowers in a vase look good, though. Good luck with the viewing!

Christmas decs down.
Fresh flowers but, please, no hyacinths. They're lovely but the scent can be overpowering and can cause headaches.

Leave up...so many times on Escape to the country..people mention where the Christmas tree is going..I'd definitely leave it up...creates a picture...

Down.

Down

Down for sure

Whenever I've looked on RightMove and seen houses with Christmas descorations, sometimes that has been later on in the year, it smacks of "oh that's been hanging around since Christmas", I know the date the property is first put on the market is on the particulars, but Christmas decorations is a visual reinforcement of the time that has elapsed.

Thank you! To be honest, I usually have everything down and away on the 2nd, but wanted to check?

Down.

Also remove family photos and little ornaments, anything too personal, so purchasers can easily think themselves into living there.

Down.
Fresh flowers and/or bowl of hyacinths.
Primroses by the front door.

Down. Everything will look tidier, more room etc

Depends really

Traditionalists would wonder why they're down

If they look beautiful it might help

To be honest I doubt it will change the viewer's mind

Take them down, it will be virtually 12th night anyway, and the prospective buyers will have Christmas behind them and be looking forward to moving in the Spring.

I wouldn’t have them up def not. It’s not Christmas and the rooms will look much better. Good luck

Yes, down, and leave any ornaments etc you put away for Christmas still boxed up.

Minimalist sells.

You could just leave the tree if it looks lovely, with the lights on?

Down.

Definitely take down
