The past few years have seen a very hot seller’s market. Buyers competed for houses and there were multiple offers. Patterns in real estate change and we are now cooling more into a buyer’s market. Prices are levelling and not as many offers are available as before.
You want to have an edge!
Now is a great time to use home staging as one of the tools to attract buyers to your home. Buyers have certain expectations when they walk into each home they see. The average staged home will sell up to 10% faster than a home that is not staged. You want to have this advantage to sell your home quicker.
Understanding home staging
Home staging is more than moving furniture and tossing a few cushions on the couch. Of course, you want your home to look its best but there is more to it!
Our Anne Winch Real Estate Team also considers the following:
- The types of homes that are selling right now (bungalow, semi, ranch, etc.)
- You need to know who your target market is for your home – millennials, boomers, etc.
- Who is moving into your neighbourhood lately?
- You need to have a statistical breakdown of homes that are for sale in your neighbourhood with the listing and sold prices. This will give you the price point you need to sell.
Believe it or not, home staging takes these ideas into account in how the home will be staged to attract the right buyers to your home.
Why is staging for me?
Staging can remove excess furniture that may clutter rooms and remove the distraction of seeing your home. By looking at the scale of the room, we can add furniture to demonstrate how the best layout can be for each room.
Staging will also provide beautiful photos that will be attached to your online listing. This is where most people shop first – online!
