Preparing for the Spring Real Estate Market
If you’re thinking
about selling your home in the spring market, take the time to get it ready now.
Every spring the market is flooded with listings giving buyers lots to choose from.
How will your property compare to what’s out there?
A great way to sell your home quickly is consult a home stager. Staging has become more important than ever with homes sitting on the market longer. You can’t change the location of your home but you can change the price. Price is something; you don’t want to move on to much, so don’t change it. But something you can change is the condition of your home. The return on the investment is extraordinary Staging can help you get the price you are asking, giving buyer a chance to see past the home flaws. Staging helps sell the dream and buyers are able to envision living in the space.
A misconception about staging is that it’s only for high-end homes or the decorating challenged. This is untrue every home can benefit from staging. When a home is prepared for the market, it shows better making a huge impact of buyers which can lead to a quicker sell with more profit. Just like when you sell your car you, would detail it first before marketing it for sell. No one wants to buy a car with garbage in the back seat and dented fender. Likewise buyers do not want to buy a worn, dated home. Staging gives your home the advantage over home in the same price range because buyers want a home that is move in ready.
The investment in staging is much less than a reduction to the asking price and carrying costs. Stats show a staged home will sell in less than 78% of the time compared to a home that was not staged.
