Reasons To Stage Your Home For Sale
If you’ve been thinking of selling your investment house or your
home, you should make sure that you take full advantage of home
staging trends. There are several advantages to home staging trends,
which we will take a look at below.
One of the greatest things about staged homes is that they sell in
no time. This is great news for sellers, as these types of homes
will sell really fast. In most cases, you won’t have to worry about
your home staying on the market for a long period of time. Research
has shown that staged homes sell nearly 40% faster than other homes
on the market.
Staged homes also sell for more money. Homes that have sat on the
market for a long period of time will typically get lower offers due
to the fact that home buyers will begin to think there is something
wrong with the home. Staged homes on the other hand, don’t sit on
the market for long at all. Once they are listed, they pretty much
draw attention to themselves - resulting in a fast sale.
A staged exterior will also pull in viewers. When home buyers first
arrive at a home that is up for sale, they instantly make up their
mind whether they should get out and look around, or drive off. If
the yard is staged with flowers and the yard is manicured and
properly taken care of, chances are that buyers will want to see
more. If you entice your buyers by showing them how nice the home is
outside, they will surely want to know what the home is like on the
inside as well.
Once a buyer has stepped inside of the home, he will know within a
matter of seconds whether or not he likes the home. To get the
buyer’s consideration, you’ll need to stage your home to the buyer’s
liking. You don’t want the buyer to feel rushed or get the wrong
impression, which is why you should always set the stage and entice
the buyer to take his time and get a good look at the home.
Staging the living rooms and kitchens will also help to sell the
home. Buyers love living rooms, which is why you should always
confirm that the living room is the center piece of your home, and
decorate it accordingly. Kitchens on the other hand, is where you
should really go all out, decorating with fruit and such. You should
always make sure that everything is in place as well. Buyers love to
see homes that are ready to move into - and not ready to be worked
on.
Staged homes will also charm more real estate agents and get more
advertising as well. If a real estate agent loves your home, he will
want to show it off. If you stage your home, chances are that real
estate agents will eat it up. When they do, they will advertise your
home more than others, just to get you some deserved attention. This
way, you can benefit from a lot of exposure at absolutely no extra
cost.
There’s no other way to look at it, other than staged homes sell.
They interest more buyers, more real estate agents, and they give
people the sense of a home. When you go out of your way to make the
buyer feel that your home is his dream home, he will know it. Homes
that aren’t staged may sell, although staged homes sell much faster
and for more money. If you’ve been looking to sell your home, you
should look into staging it and get the ball rolling in the right
direction.
