Selling a home is more than just putting a “For Sale” sign in the yard. To maximize your property’s value and attract the right buyers, preparation is key. Whether you’re upgrading to a bigger home or downsizing, these expert tips will help you sell faster and for the best price.
Boosting Curb Appeal
First impressions matter! To make your home more inviting:
- Maintain a well-manicured lawn. When selling your home or staging it is always a great idea to make a good impression at the front door. A well groomed lawn ropes buyers in before they even enter the door.
- Add fresh paint to the front door. When staging your house for buyers, make sure that the door is well maintained and that any whethering it may have gained over the years is fixed and refinished.
- Enhance lighting for a warm ambiance. Lighting plays a more important role than you would think when maximizing your home value. Staging a house should feel comfortable for the buyer, they should feel warm and invited. Lighting allows you to set that ambiance for a comfort seeking buyer.
Home Staging Secrets
Staging is the process of preparing your home for sale with the intention of making it as attractive as possible to potential home buyers. Staging your home allows buyers to envision themselves living there. Simple steps like decluttering, adding neutral décor, and arranging furniture strategically can make a huge impact in buyer decisions.
- Declutter: Decluttering allows your home to look more spacious and put together. Especially if you are selling in westchester, you want to make sure your home is easily navigated through and shows off its space.
- Add neutral decor: Since you are trying to appeal to a vast amount of buyers to facilitate a quick sale, it is smart to include neutral colors and decor.
- Arrange furniture strategically: Make sure furniture is positioned in a way that makes for good flow within the house. Good flow means furniture is arranged in a way that takes the buyer through a journey whether that be positioning a couch in a way that is inviting to the living room.
- Accent pieces: Make sure to throw in accent pieces to make the space feel more cozy, inviting, and relaxing to the potential buyer and remove any distracting pieces of furniture out of the house.
