In the Seattle real estate market today, there are a surplus of homes for sale. And, the time it takes to sells these homes has increased from what is was at this time last year. So, if you are thinking of selling your home, you may be asking the question... How do I set my house apart from the pack?
When it comes to selling real estate, there are two very simple ways to make your home stand out from the rest. First option, your can price your home well under market value and cause your home to sell merely from its aggressive price. Second option, is to make the home look like a "model home" and let the overall appearance and condition set the home apart from the pack.
When there are many homes for sale in a particular neighborhood, buyers tend to focus on the house that looks great and appears to be in move-in condition. Homes that look good also get shown more by real estate agents, which will translate into greater market exposure.
The basic idea behind home staging is to showcase your home in its best condition and to make your home appeal to as many buyers as possible by de-personalizing your space. The goal is to make the home very easy for the potential buyer to visualize themselves living there.
At the very least when selling your home you should clean, depersonalize, and remove any clutter and excess furniture that makes the room look crowded. New paint, floor coverings or light fixtures can also freshen up the look of the house. For even more competitive housing markets, hiring a professional home stager can help your home stand out above the rest.
