Selling a House – Stage It!
Looking at selling a house? If you’ve been thinking of selling a house, your own or
an investment property, home staging is a term you should become familiar with.
Take full advantage of home staging trends and selling a house will be
accomplished much quicker. There are several advantages to home staging
trends and, when selling a house, they are all equally important.
Selling a House Quick
It is a fact that staged homes sell in much less time than non-staged homes. This
is one of the best advantages to home staging. 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. Homes that
have sat on the market for a long period of time, which can be defined as
anywhere from 90 days on up, will normally get lower offers due to the fact that
home buyers might think there is something wrong with the home. Research has
shown that staged homes sell nearly 40% faster than other homes on the market.
Selling a House For More Money
Here is another big, big plus to stage your home - staged homes sell for more
money. Yes, you saw right! Nicely staged home = more money. Staged homes
don’t sit on the market for long and they can bring you a higher profit. Once they
are listed, they pretty much draw attention to themselves - resulting in a fast sale.
Selling a House – Staging Details
When home buyers first arrive at a home that is on the market, they have an
impression of the home instantly. Then, they make up their mind whether they
should get out and look around, or drive off. Knowing this, if the yard is staged
with flowers, the yard is nicely mowed and the hedges are trimmed well, chances
are in your favor that this may be a house that buyers will want to go inside and

see. Selling a house requires more attention to detail than nearly any other sale.
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.
Once a buyer has stepped inside of the home, he will have another impression
and know within a matter of seconds whether or not he likes the home. This is
not a stretch – that is why when selling a house, it is vital to appeal to them
immediately. To get the buyer’s attention, you’ll need to stage your home as
neutral as possible to appeal to a wide audience. 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 to get a good look at everything your
home offers.
Selling a House – Don’t Overlook the Kitchen
Staging the living room and kitchen in your house is very important. Like you,
buyers will spend a lot of time in the living room and kitchen, which is why you
should always make sure that the living room is ready for a new owner. It is the
center piece of your home, so decorate it accordingly. The kitchen, on the other
hand, is where you should really go all out, or take all out. De-clutter all the
personal extras you have on the counters. 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.
Selling a House and Real Estate Agents
Nicely staged homes are sure to attract real estate agents. If a real estate agent
loves your home, he may want to show to his buyers. If you stage your home,
chances are that real estate agents will love it. When they do, they may show it
to more than one buyer, which will mean more advertising of your home. When
selling a house, you want all the exposure you can get, whether it’s from real
estate agents or not.
Conclusion in Selling a House and Staging
Brought to you by RealEstateSolutionsCo.com
The fact is that staged homes sell. When selling a house, you want to stage it as
best as you can. Staged homes attract more buyers, more real estate agents, and
they give people the feeling of “welcome home.” When you go out of your way
to make the buyer feel that your home is his dream home, he will feel it. Homes
that aren’t staged still sell, but wouldn’t you like to get a faster sell and for more
money? If you’ve been looking at selling a house, you should look into staging it
and earn thousands more dollars in weeks instead of months!
