When Staging a Home Keep the Targeted Buyer in Mind. Doing so is extremely important and can determine success or failure with the Home Staging.
Am I staging a downtown loft or a home in the suburbs? Who lives in this neighborhood? These are some of the questions I ask myself.
Point in fact: When I went to do the bid for this condo I noticed it was extremely quiet, not a lot of activity in the common areas and a few people of the older generation walking through the halls.
I asked the Realtor if the buyer would likely be someone downsizing or a young professional wanting to entertain clients since the condo was located on an Exclusive Private Golf Course. I was told most likely someone downsizing.
When I stopped to chat with the Maintenance Manager I was told the average age of owners was 72. Ah huh!
In home staging you must keep your most likely buyer in mind. I wanted to play to that demographic but also keep it some what modern in case a young professional walked through.
I think I found that balance. The condo had been vacant and on the market over a year without an offer. They pulled it off the market for a few months, had it staged and then re-listed.
IT SOLD IN LESS THAN THREE WEEKS!!
What did I do? I made the home feel more traditional but with a hint of modern elements.
The artwork is more formal and traditional but the furniture is cozy and neutral and the colors of dark brown and light blue are fresh and modern.
The bathroom was blah. It needed some life and vibrant cranberry did the trick.
The porch: Antique wicker in modern black with lime green and hot pink accents made it refreshing for any generation.
The office: Well of course it needed a Golf theme being on an exclusive private golf course.
The bedroom: Aahhh....tranquil for any age.
Staging a home for the most likely buyer is important but a balance is needed so anyone can fall in love with it. You never know who may walk through the door.
