How To Stage Your Home In Today's Market
Most home buyers today are looking for a move in ready property. They really want to walk into a home and visualize themselves living there. With so many homes to choose from on the market buyers need to find a way to make their home stand out.
Here are a few things you can do before putting your home on the market to make it more attractive to buyers.
1. Curb appeal is the one thing that will make a buyer stop and admire your home and want
to come in for a closer look. So tidy up your yard and get your grass looking great. Clean
up the gardens and black top the driveway if needed.
2. Entry-way should have good lighting free of cobwebs, give the front door a fresh coat of
paint if needed and add a new welcome mat.
3. Entrance to your home should be free of shoes and handbags and dog leashes and all the
other things we drop at the front door. Keep it clean and tidy by putting away all the coats
and things you are not using in a storage bin. Lable your bins for an easy find later. Keep
your entrance feeling as large as possible.
4. The rest of your home should be de-cluttered and de-personalized. If you have children,
put away most of their toys and switch out as needed. Tidy up closets and bedrooms. If
you need to repaint or make small repairs now is the time to do that before you have a
real estate agent in. Make sure your kitchen counters are free of clutter and small
appliances. If you have one or two that look rather nice that would be fine. Keep your
counter looking as clean as possible. You want buyers to look at your home not your
stuff.
5. Tidy up your back yard by removing old debris and make it a welcome place to sit and
relax after a long day at work.
These are just a few things for you to think about doing before puting that For Sale sign on the front lawn.
