| Decorating
your house to sell |
Decorating your house to sell, also called House "Staging"
or "Fluffing", will help you sell in record
time and get top dollar for your home.
In a Buyer's Market the available listings exceed demand.
Higher inventory of homes means that the home you are trying
to sell will likely take longer to sell. House hunters can
take their time and can afford to be a lot choosier than
they could if houses were scarce. Consequently, to
sell your home quickly and for the best price, you need to
make sure that it makes a strong and favourable first impression.
In a Sellers Market, when there are more buyers than
homes, decisions need to be make very quickly. Often, this
can result in multiple offers on your home. If your home
is properly staged or "fluffed", anxious buyers
are far more likely to up their bids - you can end up with
a real windfall. You just need to know how to prepare your
home to best advantage. This is where I can be a big help
to you.
It is very difficult to be objective about one's own home;
I can offer you that objective eye. It is also important
to understand that the way your house looks for showings
is NOT going to be the same as it looks for normal everyday
living. The 3 most important keys to preparing your home
for a quick and profitable sale are:
- Cleanliness
This is paramount. It may mean a good scrub or it could
mean a fresh coat of paint. It needn't cost a lot but
it is a MUST.
- Clutter-free
Rooms should have a single focus and a spacious feeling.
Often I will recommend the furniture be rearranged and
that certain pieces be removed. It will also mean that
many personal objects, including all family photos,
go into storage early. De-cluttering and de-personalizing
each room allows potential buyers to more easily see
themselves making the space their own.
- Colour
Most people simply can NOT see past dirtiness, ugly
decor or emptiness to see 'potential'. That's why successful
builders use model homes and suites - they inspire the
buyers' imagination.
Take the time and invest a little bit in turning your
home into an inviting With a little effort and a money
can generate thousands in after sales profits. preparing
a house for sale using cost-effective and non-invasive
methods, best way to make a dramatic impact without
having to spend a lot of money.
The majority of homes that we visit for consultations
are out-dated and in need of a pre-sale makeover, he
said. The good news is that unlike major renovations,
house staging is a simple and inexpensive way to bring
your house up-to-date.
