The holiday season brings on a major pain point for the real estate agents – what to do if your gingerbread house isn’t selling by the hard deadline of December 25th. Don’t let your listings go stale! Read below for some helpful tips to get those gumdrops out of your hair and into the hearts of some happy homeowners.
What would you do with an extra 16 hours?
Spend more time on the things that matter most.
Make sure your gingerbread house stands out from the crowd. It can be tempting to go with the classic status quo, but don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Think – tinsel shrubbery, top shelf buttercream landscaping, and a gourmet candy cane entryway.
Is your frosting job a little wonky? Consider a refresh before peak season. You’ll be amazed at what a fresh coat of icing can do. Make sure to also check the foundation for any signs of cracking or crumbling. Keen gingerbread homeowners will be looking for any signs of collapse.
Be sure that your gingerbread house is following the Christmas Code. For starters, all gingerbread houses must have at least 5 peppermints, 10 gumdrops, and a licorice mailbox. You’ll also need to make sure the chimney is functional and has several coats of icing to keep it well insulated.
