There is something to be said about a neat and tidy house when you are sorting through house after house looking for the perfect home for you and your family. There are a few other things you should keep in mind when it comes to selling real estate. One of those things is that staging sells homes. What this means is that staging affects and improves the look of the inside of your home like curb appeal provides a “lift” to the outside feel and impact of your home. You’ll be well served to consider this dynamic duo of simple treatment to help your home sell faster.
Just about any home can easily overcome a cold, damp and inviting interior with a few very simple modifications. For example, many home owners are learning they can contact a local furniture rental store and pick out furniture that will match at least the primary rooms of the home in order to make the home appear lived in and homelike. This is a little known staging strategy that has a huge impact on the interior look and feel of your home!
The primary rooms that you will want to appear ‘lived in’ are the living room, dining room, master bedroom, and all bathrooms. These are the rooms that essentially sell homes and it is important to make them appear neat, orderly, and well cared for with a few simple to apply shifts. It is rare that you’ll need more than a few dollars to stage your home’s “selling rooms.” I once found two matching pictures I needed to help stage a living room for a client. These pictures were on display in a thrift store and were marked $300 for the pair. The clerk marked them down to $100 and my client’s home sold to the next person who toured her home.
If you have the funds for staging every room in your home then by all means do so. Staging provides a look and feel that helps feature your home’s selling points, particularly for those who are trying to sell homes quickly. If the home doesn’t sell after the first two weeks or month (you decide the time limit) then you may want to remove any ‘staging’ furniture that is being rented in order to eliminate the expense. I would strongly encourage you to keep this furniture as long as the home is being shown fairly regularly though.
So when you’re sick and tired of sitting on your home and struggling to pay the mortgage, your quickest path to selling is to freshen the interior of your home with a few splashes of a neutral color of paint and fill the main rooms with furniture.
