Real estate is an industry where making great first impressions can make a huge difference. Therefore, if you want to sell a home quickly with the best possible price, staging is one of the most prominent ways of making it happen. It ensures that buyers see the property in its best light while illustrating what it can offer without requiring a complete makeover. In addition, staging homes can make it easier for the buyers to focus more on the fundamentals of the house rather than its interior aesthetics.
There are various benefits to home staging, such as:
Decluttering: Getting rid of the clutter at home is an effective marketing/selling technique. It opens up the space and makes the house look bigger as well as appealing.
Depersonalizing: It’s tough for buyers to imagine themselves in a home if they are shown actual pictures with the current owner’s personal things in it. The aim of home staging is to create a blank canvas. Consequently, put away family photos or any other personal belongings.
Small Repairs: Small repairs, such as paint touch-ups, caulking, and a bit of spackling should be taken care of during the staging process. It is quick and cheap but can have a glaring effect on buyers.
Experts claim that staging home offers are beneficial for both sellers and buyers. Let’s have a look at its role in an efficient home sale:
A lack of staging could result in an unsure buyer as they are unable to visualize the space or what it can become, whereas staging homes make it easier for buyers to recognize when a house meets their expectations. Over 74% of real estate agents believe that buyers know what they want in an ideal home even before they start their search.
Buying, designing, and ultimately, living in a home is quite a personal thing and there is a wide range of what people want (in terms of taste & style). The house has to look appealing to the buyer while it’s on the market. A seller is halfway in selling a home by getting buyers in the door. Therefore, it makes sense that staging would be a major game-changer. While not everybody’s taste is the same and you can’t predict it for all the buyers, you can stage a home that has a much broader appeal and is more likely attractive to potential buyers.
When it comes to staging, all rooms don’t hold equal importance. Some consider the living room as a selling point while others say the same for bathrooms or guest bedrooms. Therefore, sellers who have limited resources can figure out important rooms and prioritize specific areas when staging to make a great impact for the least amount of work.
According to the stats and the benefits of staging, there are close to no agents that say home staging has a negative impact on property offers. Therefore, the whole process will result in nothing to lose but possibly gain great offers.
Home staging is definitely worth the effort. Explore more on the subject at the Realty 2.0 Conference. It facilitates dialogues about what is important when it comes to properties and construction.
