In today’s market sellers need to pull out all the stops if they want to sell their home quickly. Most buyers are interested in a home that is ready to move into. In the cash strapped society of today, people want to have some recovery time after purchasing a home before they begin to spend more money on upgrades. By staging your home, you are putting the best foot forward at your Open House, making a good impression puts you one step closer to an offer.
Recently we have talked about decluttering your home; staging takes it further. When the realtor put the “for sale” in the yard, your role changed. You are no longer Mr. or Mrs. Homeowner; you are now a business person with a product to sell. You have to start thinking like a business person!
So what is one of the first questions you need to ask yourself before staging your home? What type of person does my home appeal to? If your home is perfect for young, hip up and comers, you may want to take that into consideration when you are staging. A more modern look may appeal to them.
If your home is perfect for a growing family, then you may want to show off all the space your home has. Your realtor can help you determine what demographics your home should appeal to and what they are looking for in your local market. In all your preparations, remember you are not fixing the house up the way YOU Like it, you are trying to appeal to the buyers in your area! Staging your home helps it stand out above the rest!
