Top 5 Home Staging Tips To Sell Your House Faster

Home staging is the act of preparing and promoting your home for the marketplace. It is all about creating a lasting impression of livability on home buyers so that they’re urged into making an offer.

If you want to sell your house as quickly as possible, then you must put in the effort to stage it properly. Here are the top 5 home staging tips:

  1. Get rid of clutter
  2. The more space there is in a home, the more inviting it feels. Put extra or occasional furniture in storage. Then, re-arrange the layout of your living room to make it easy for home buyers to walk around.

    Remove personal items like souvenirs, quirky tabletop accessories, and family photos. You want home buyers to imagine themselves living in your home.

    Get rid of half of the items in your kitchen cabinets, drawers, garage, and other places buyers are likely to peek into. They’re not just snooping, either – buyers want to assess the storage potential of your home.

  3. Repair and repaint the home
  4. Before opening your home to potential buyers, see to it that you patch up all areas that need repairs. Leaky pipes, cracks on the walls, and stuck windows are a few red flags that could cost you the sale.

    If you’re repainting your house, here are a few things to keep in mind, according to Zillow’s 2018 Paint Color Analysis.

    • Gray-blue kitchens make homes sell an average of $1,809 more
    • A two-toned kitchen – dark cabinets and islands contrasted by lighter wall colors – ups the sale price of a home by around $1,547
    • Black or charcoal gray front doors can increase the price of a home by 2.9%
    • Pinkish taupe is a warm tan with pink undertones – and living rooms painted in this color could raise home prices by up to 1.3 % percent
    • Periwinkle blue bathrooms can also increase the price of a home by 1.3 %
  5. Lighting matters
  6. Brighten up your home to make it look warm and welcoming to home buyers. Roll up the blinds or draw open the curtains to allow natural light to stream through. Turn on all of the lights – including table lamps – during showings. Illuminate dark or shadowy nooks by installing sconces, adding floor or arc lamps, or hanging a mirror to reflect light sources from elsewhere.

  7. Online impressions are crucial
  8. With 99% of millennials and 90% of older boomers turning to the internet to search for homes, you need to come on strong. Upload photos that show your home at its best. Consider hiring a professional real estate photographer for the job. They will know how to capture the best angles of your interior living spaces the exterior of your home. Find out the value of employing drones for striking aerial views of your home. You could also upload a virtual tour of your home to make buyers want to see the actual house for themselves.

  9. Clean the whole house
  10. It’s essential to thoroughly clean your home before viewings. Having a spotless house is key to a favorable showing. Potential home buyers will be impressed by how well you take care of your home. Don’t neglect unwanted odors either, especially if you have pets.
