Can staging my home make a difference?
You bet it can! Research shows that well staged homes sell approximately 32% faster than non-staged homes. They also sell for 3 to 10% more. Do the math and tell me how many thousands of dollars we are talking. Homes which are properly staged; that are warm, cozy, romantic and have sex appeal, sell fastest. As a seller, you may hire a professional home stager or stage your home yourself. Naturally, if you do it yourself, you should have a plan, some guidelines and a checklist to follow.
Selling a "Lifestyle"
To sell your home faster, you must sell more than just two bedrooms, two baths and so many square feet with a garage. You must sell a lifestyle:
Where buyers’ imagine themselves raising their families or entertaining their friends.
Where they can relax on the patio or listen to their favorite music.
Where they imagine themselves preparing gourmet meals or taking luxurious baths. Where dreams come true.
When selling in a slow market
You have two choices 1. Lower your pricePrice your home below that of your competition for the same amenities, size, etc. or 2. Make your home more desirable. To do this, you need to have a home with the right atmosphere and looks. There is nothing more important when it comes to selling your home, than to have one which has a strong emotional appeal to buyers. Properly staging your home will create this emotional appeal, otherwise you will need to lower your price.
