Firstly, if you have a bedroom which is a little small, an oversized teddy bear does not help. I'm not in any way advocating misleading buyers about the room size, but a small teddy would help to add scale to the room.
At first glance, there is nothing really wrong with this picture, my problem is that it is listed as a dining room. I'm sorry, but if it's got a front door and the stairs, and other rooms off it, it's a hall (unless it's a traditional style terrace where the front door opens straight onto the front room).
Also, a table pushed up against a wall just screams about a lack of space, I would suggest buying or borrowing a smaller table or removing the table and replacing with a large rug for a really welcoming large hall.
I'm not saying don't put up Christmas decorations if your house is on the market, but it's February and really your agent should have been back to take new non-Christmassy pictures. Same goes for snow. I saw a picture on rightmove last August that had snow, it just didn't give the right impression. Of course there are now websites which anyone can look at to see how long a house has been on the market (or most agents will tell you) but it certainly doesn't make me think, "Wow, I need to go and see this property today before anyone else snaps it up!"
Remember that you are paying your agent a lot of money and coming out a couple of times to take new photos is minimal work for them. If your property is on the market for more than 6 months, I would strongly suggest a new set of images anyway, maybe following some rearranging or decorating, and taken from some new or different angles. If a buyer has been looking for a long time, maybe a fresh look would make them interested.
*If one of the pictures is your house and you would like me to remove it, please get in touch and I will immediately. I will also offer you a free consultation to see if I can assist you in styling your home to its full potential.
