A well-staged home can make people feel
comfortable and at home, which is likely to increase the sale
price.
Staging your home well allows buyers to see themselves in that
space, which can help them become attached to it. This makes it
harder to walk away without feeling a loss. The more attached to
the space they feel, the more likely they are to make an offer.
Clean and Open Up the Space
Before showing off your space, take time to clean and declutter.
This includes putting away unnecessary furniture, throw blankets
and pillows. If you have too much stuff, put some of it in
storage. Make the space minimal, and then add a few touches to
make it feel like someone’s home. The space should look livable,
but not lived-in.
Don’t Make It Too Personal
When inviting people into your home, it can be tempting to show
off your style. This is your space, and chances are you have
worked hard to make it comfortable and appealing to you and your
friends and loved ones.
Remember, you want to appeal to as many buyers as possible. More
interest from buyers means more bidding, and that usually means
a higher sale price.
If you want to appeal to more potential buyers, it’s better to
play it safe with décor. Consider putting away personal and
unnecessary knick-knacks. Think clean lines and safe colors. If
you decorate with books or art, try to keep the selections
relatively neutral.
Consider Hiring a Professional
While staging on your own can keep costs down in the short term,
hiring a professional may be worth the cost when the home sells.
We tend to become attached to our spaces and design choices. An
outside party who has worked with a wide variety of audiences as
a professional will have an eye trained for mass appeal. Hiring
a designer may even pay for itself if it increases the sale
price.
