Staged Homes Sell Quicker, For More Money
A person furnishes their home according to their individual tastes, and this, more times than not, does not suit the market. Furniture that is worn, poorly suited for the home, mismatched or dirty can devalue a property. Clutter and filth also devalues a property as it creates the perception that the property is uncared for. Staging your home helps to create a vision for the property.
When selling a detached home, one of the most inexpensive areas to stage is the exterior, to create curb appeal. Curb appeal makes a valuable first impression and creates a positive perception for the property prior to even entering the home. An 'ordinary' home can go from bland to bombshell with just a few hundred dollars and some elbow grease. A row of purple geraniums in pots, a few hanging baskets, and an inexpensive fountain can transform a lackluster yard.
