If you�ve been thinking of selling your investment house or your home, you
should make sure that you get full gian of home staging trends. There are
several advantages to home staging trends, which we will take a look at below.
One of the best things about staged homes is that they sell rapidly. This is
great news for sellers, as these types of homes will sell really fast. In most
cases, you won�t have to worry about your home staying on the market for a long
period of time. Research has shown that staged homes sell nearly 40% faster than
other homes on the market.
Staged homes also sell for more money. Homes that have sat on the market for a
long period of time will usually get lower offers due to the fact that home
buyers will begin to think there is something wrong with the home. Staged homes
on the other hand, don�t sit on the market for long at all. Once they are
listed, they pretty much draw attention to themselves - resulting in a fast
sale.
A staged exterior will also draw viewers. When home buyers first arrive at a
home that is up for sale, they immediately make up their mind whether they
should get out and look around, or drive off. If the yard is staged with flowers
and the yard is manicured and properly taken care of, chances are that buyers
will want to see more. If you entice your buyers by showing them how nice the
home is outside, they will surely want to know what the home is like on the
inside as well.
Once a buyer has stepped inside of the home, he will know within a matter of
seconds whether or not he likes the home. To get the buyer�s attention, you�ll
need to stage your home to the buyer�s liking. You don�t want the buyer to feel
rushed or get the wrong impression, which is why you should always set the stage
and entice the buyer to take his time and get a good look at the home.
Staging the living rooms and kitchens will also help to sell the home. Buyers
always like to see living rooms, which is why you should always ascertain that
the living room is the center piece of your home, and decorate it accordingly.
Kitchens on the other hand, is where you should really go all out, decorating
with fruit and such. You should always make sure that everything is in place as
well. Buyers love to see homes that are ready to move into - and not ready to be
worked on.
Staged homes will also charm more real estate agents and get more advertising as
well. If a real estate agent loves your home, he will want to show it off. If
you stage your home, chances are that real estate agents will eat it up. When
they do, they will advertise your home more than others, just to get you some
deserved attention. This way, you can benefit from a lot of exposure at
absolutely no extra cost.
There�s no other way to look at it, other than staged homes sell. They interest
more buyers, more real estate agents, and they give people the mood of a home.
When you go out of your way to make the buyer feel that your home is his dream
home, he will know it. Homes that aren�t staged may sell, although staged homes
sell much faster and for more money. If you�ve been looking to sell your home,
you should look into staging it and get the ball rolling in the right direction.
