Thousands of Edmonton and area homes for sale - How do you stand out?

With thousands of Real Estate listings in the Edmonton area it's more than likely there's a bit of competition on your street. Properly preparing your home for sale will bring it to a level playing field, if not a step above its competitors. 

Home buyers differ in their priorities for their new home but they all have a few things in common:

  • 80% of them view your home online or in print for the first time
  • Most make a priority list of homes to view based on how they look in the advertisement
  • They are looking for a great home at a great price and start looking for ways to justify a lower offer
  • They can view a number of homes in a day with showings lasting as little as 10 minutes
  • Most are looking for move in ready homes
  • They tend to lump homes with dated décor as fixer uppers
  • Regardless of age; cluttered homes look smaller and less appealing
  • Many will place their furniture the same way they see it displayed, so if it doesn't look right they assume there is a lack of overall space rather than a problem with the furniture placement
  • Only 10% of them can visualize a home's potential; if it doesn't look appealing they lose interest quickly
  • First impressions are formed in less than 60 seconds and can cause a quick decision based on visual appeal
  • It's hard for them to make an emotional connection in a home that showcases personal photographs and collections because it reminds them it's someone else's home
  • Their ultimate goal is to find a home that looks and feels better than what they have now

Don't leave it up to a buyer's imagination - show them how wonderful your home is!

As the Edmonton Real Estate Market continues to have a record breaking number of listings, the need to impress your potential buyer is more important than ever. In 2007 many published Real Estate reports stated that Home Staging & Redesign added more value and buyer appeal causing homes to sell faster and for more money.   

Remember that if a buyer can visualize themselves living in your home they may just fall in love with it. Price, location and your personal décor no longer becomes a factor once their hart takes over so take the time to get it right the first time. Your hard work won't go unnoticed and it will certainly make the selling process less stressful and in most cases much more profitable - exactly what you are looking for!
