Selling your home in a slow market

By
Home Stager with Daniel H Houde Design

Even though the market is slow and there is a large amount of inventory out there homes are still selling. The difference is that these homes stand out from the rest. Buyers are shopping online and if your pictures do not look amazing, you will never get the appointment. Staging not only helps when you are showing the property, staging helps right from the beginning by giving you an opportunity for great pictures. I just staged a home in Worcester and even though there are 700 homes listed todayin Worcester,  this house has more activity then expected. They are getting alot of intertest and it is from the pictures on line. The law of averages will tell you that the more people seeing your home the more likely you will get an offer. If your house or listing is not picture perfect then it might be time to have a prfessional look at it. Consultations are an affordable way to get started. It might be time to make the call.
