Why Isn't My Montgomery County PA Home Selling?
It's always everyone's hope that once they put their home on the market, it's going to be a quick sale. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work out that way. And there's no one reason for it. It could be a multitude of reasons such as poor marketing efforts from your real estate agent, you're overpriced, the appearance of your home...the list goes on. But since I'm a Montgomery county PA home stager, let's take a look into how the lack of home staging plays a role in why your home isn't selling or why you're getting such low offers.
The appearance of your home can affect the sale in a big way.
We all know the more buyers you have walking in your front door, the higher your odds are of selling. When your home doesn't show well, it can turn off potential buyers from even wanting to check it out. Which obviously decreases your odds of getting an offer. When your home is staged by a professional, it draws people to it. It allows a buyer to make an emotional connection to your home which will rule over any other house that they've seen. Buyers make offers on the homes they fall in love with.
Home staging can also affect how much your home sells for.
For example, take two identical town homes with the same layout, basic finishes and same listing price. One of the homes was professionally staged with neutral paint colors, cleaned top to bottom, some inexpensive DIY updates were done, furniture was edited to open up the rooms and all the details are accounted for (pillows, art, accessories). Home stagers know how to decorate a home so that it appeals to a broad range of people and allows buyers to see the possibilities. Now the second home, isn't staged. Furniture is cluttering up the rooms, there's a bunch of pictures/family photos on the walls, accessories taking up every square inch, no inexpensive DIY updates, and the paint on the walls have seen better days. Obviously one home just looks like it's in better shape. That home is more likely to sell at closer to asking price. The other home, however, is going to get a much lower offer because it gives off the appearance that there's a lot of work to do to get it up to the buyers standards.
