You only have a few moments to sell your home to a new buyer. With hundreds of homes available on the market today how can you make sure yours is the next to sell? Staging, with the recent downturn in the economy and continued sluggishness in the real estate market; staging is more important than ever.
Here are the top reasons why home-staging matters, and how you can make it work for you:
A picture is worth a thousand words:Over 80% of home buyers begin their search online, so the first impression of your home might be the last. Make sure your home looks its best.
Visualize their space, not your place: Staging becomes even more important when buyers visit in person. Properly performed home staging is essential to allowing prospective buyers to visualize the home as “their space” rather than trying to see through your clutter and belongings. A home should be attractive yet neutral enough to allow buyers an opportunity to get a feel for how their own furniture and belonging would fit.
Browsers spend more time looking at pretty pictures: Not only are buyers searching online, but they tend to spend more time viewing attractive properties than those without pictures or with “ugly” photos. Use plenty of photos to showcase your home or property.
Staging does not have to cost a fortune to be effective, but does require experience for best results. If your thinking about selling your home please give me a call.
