I have seen both types of trees done really well.  Personally, I would use the service of renting a live tree, and having them take it and recycle it next year. I would definitely decorate even if my home was for sale, it gives the buyers an opportunity to visualize how great a home can look.  A

I like a real tree although we use an artificial one. 

I personally would recommend a real, natural tree. The scent itself will draw buyers to stay longer at the house. The more time one spends at a property, the more likely they will fall in love with it.

Always a good idea to showcase the home.

Well, I'm not decorating either, Gita.  Primarily because I'm Jewish.  

Though, I do love the smell of a real tree.

Yes, to decoration. Maybe less than usually, but definitely the house looks better with Holidays decorations.

I would suggest an artificial tree( no mess)  and few candles for an aroma of holidays.

I like real trees because of the smell. 

Real!

Ajay nailed this one!

I am with you on this Gita.

What's the neighborhood doing, you don't want to be the only home with lights.. As far as a tree you can't go wrong. Nothing better than a good fresh smelling tree decorated for the season...
