Every homeowner wants to sell their property for the most money possible, but even if you’re in the middle of a seller’s market like we are right now, you still need to update your home and prepare it for listing.
In order to maximize your home’s selling potential and secure the highest possible bid, follow these home staging tips to get your home market-ready.
Increase your home’s value by up to 20%
Staging is where it’s at if you want to attract well-paying buyers. Not only can staging boost your home’s value by as much as 20%, but it can also get your home sold faster and for the most money!
Keep this in mind if you find yourself unmotivated during the staging process.
Make your property feel like a home for potential buyers
Staging essentially makes your property feel like home to potential buyers with colour palettes, furniture, and décor, allowing them to envision their new lives there. It’s also super easy if you know what you’re doing and can be reasonably inexpensive! Put on your buyer’s lens and look around…what could you do to help them imagine building a life and creating memories there?
Less is more
Most buyers are unimaginative and need to be shown how extraordinary their lives will be in your home. By removing personal photographs and knickknacks, you can make a big difference when creating that perfect blank canvas for new owners.
“Add” square footage
Things as simple as 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!
Make a good first impression
Potential buyers form an opinion about your home within mere seconds of viewing it. By hiring a professional stager, you can set your home up in a way that allows potential buyers to feel an instant emotional connection to it, leaving them craving more!
