Should I Stage My Home?
In a seller's market, staging a home can help you sell even on the first day it's listed. In a buyer's market, it can help sell a home in a matter of days.
Staging is important to help buyers visualize themselves living and feeling comfortable in the home, no matter the price range because nowadays consumers expect it, and it can really help buyers realize the uniqueness of the property.
It is also a good idea to stage your home complimentary to the feel, theme, and color scheme of the home.
When you leave a home vacant, you leave the buyer guessing what the home will feel like for them.
What To Do:
Clean: make sure your home is clean so the buyer does not notice any odor, dirt, or daily wear and tear of the home
De-clutter: do not leave out anything that could be smaller than your fist (this is considered clutter); as well as pet accessories, personalized pictures, and items that make the home still feel like someone is living in it
Repair: if anything is obviously broken, damaged, or looks like it needs repairing…either get rid of it or fix it before you show the home
Lightly Decorate: find some neutral yet trendy furniture or rearrange your own furniture to the point that a buyer could imagine themselves living there and not the way you currently live
