This Foreclosure can't be Staged....no way!

By
Home Stager with Cincinnati Home Stager

I thought Sue Argue's blog  "Foreclosures...AS IS" was great. It is a market that desperately needs staging to get those houses sold. More and more foreclosures unfortunetly are increasing at an unbelievable rate ESP. the higher end ones as well as houses perfect for first time buyers in nice neighborhoods.  

There is only one point I'll have to "argue" with Sue though....My investor hubby just bought this gem....It was a foreclosure that sat on the market for a record breaking 2 YEARS!  I don't think any amount of "Staging" would of helped this one......But just for FUN, I may attempt to stage it "AS IS" and see what you all think!   (That's my daughter Lexi enjoying the fabulous kitchen.....my hubby decided to dine outside on the bed of the truck instead of inside)

OH MY! I agree.  Staging will not help that house unless you consider renovation part of the deal!  But after some fixing up it should sell at a profit, and thats what its all about, isn't it?

Teresa, I just love the matching appliances - lol

Your daughter is very pretty just like her mom!  How old were you when you had her 10?  You look too young to have teenagers!

Good for you Teresa!!  Buying at a great price and renting the place out while the market goes through this down cycle is smart investing....and the best way to make long-term money for your family!!  Regards-Kathleen
