A key part of preparing your home for sale is staging.
Staging can not only boost your home’s value by as much as 20%, but research has shown that staged homes sell faster and for more money, allowing you to get the best possible return. If you’re in the process of selling your home here are a few tips that won’t break the bank.
- Help the buyer feel “at home”
Staging helps to create a visual story by using colour palettes, furniture, and décor. The key is to create a space that helps potential buyers picture themselves in the home. It’s also super easy, if you know what you’re doing, and can be reasonably inexpensive! Simply put on your buyer’s hat and have a look around. What could you do to help buyers imagine building a life and creating memories there?
*Expert tip* Removing personal pictures, like that one of you at the Jay’s game, and other personal items can make a big difference when it comes to creating the perfect blank canvas for new owners.
- “Add” square footage
Moving around furniture, cleaning windows, changing light fixtures, and even painting walls to a more neutral colour will not only make your home feel larger, brighter, and cleaner, but more inviting as well!
- First impressions count
Potential buyers should feel an instant emotional connection with the home that leaves them craving more. But this is often a tricky dance for long time homeowners who can struggle to decide which features would most appeal to prospective buyers. That’s where a professional stager comes in! By combining market trends with expert creativity, a professional stager will showcase your home in a light that makes it irresistible to buyers!
