As autumn leaves begin to fall to the ground, neighborhoods across the country come alive with the glow of jack-o-lanterns in anticipation of Halloween. For homeowners looking to sell during this spirited season, striking the right balance between festive decor and timeless appeal can be a challenge.<\/p>\n

While some embrace the spooky season wholeheartedly, an overenthusiastic haunted house vibe might give potential buyers more chills than thrills. On the other hand, a subtle nod to the holiday can create a warm and memorable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Stick to decorating the outdoors<\/h2>\n

\u201cToo much ghoulish distraction indoors will make the buyers feel as if they are touring a haunted home rather than a home for sale,\u201d says David Meek<\/a>, a top Scottsdale, Arizona Realtor\u00ae with more than 20 years of experience.<\/p>\n

\u2026But don\u2019t go overboard<\/h3>\n

Whatever you put outside, make sure it isn\u2019t too scary, as you want your home to look appealing<\/a>, not frightening.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would focus on making it more seasonal-based by sticking to a lot of pumpkins, cornstalks, gourds, etc.,\u201d recommends Kevin Lawton<\/a>, a top Realtor in Bordentown, New Jersey. \u201cYou don\u2019t want the decorations to detract from features of the house.\u201d<\/p>\n

And if you go with pumpkins, it\u2019s a good idea to go with faux<\/a>, so they don\u2019t rot, smell or attract critters.<\/p>\n

Bonus tip when thinking about outdoor Halloween decorations<\/a>: \u201cAvoid being the guy on the block with the inflatable yard decor because it will eclipse your yard sign,\u201d says Meek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
