Homeowners wanting to sell their home are in for some good news as many real estate markets are showing signs of rebound.For one, homes in the Denver, Colorado market in the $100,000-$300,000 price range are selling rapidly and at a price higher than anticipated. However, despite these positive trends, sellers remain cautious and competition is tough, especially since foreclosed properties continue to saturate most markets.
One way to maintain the competitive edge, increase the desirability of your home and set it up for a quick sale is to have your home professionally staged.The goal of professional staging is to take away the personal touches in your home that may not appeal to a wide range of buyers, and set it up to look appealing to the most buyers possible. You want a prospective buyer to picture himself living in the home.
Although there is no guarantee, history has shown that staged homes spend less time on the market and sell for far more than non-staged homes. And yet, many homeowners are reluctant to take advantage of this proven sales strategy, for several reasons.
1. It will cost too much.The cost to professionally stage a home can fluctuate.As the objective of home staging is to emphasize its positive features and downplay the negatives, a house that is already in terrific condition will have a lower bill to professionally stage it.Most professional stagers will tour your home and give a cost estimate and payment options to you before you are ever obligated to work with them.
2.It will be too big a bother. The reality is that home staging can be as simple as de-cluttering your home or rearranging or updating accessories.On the other hand, it could involve a total update of every room.The good news is that the more difficult staging jobs are almost never needed; effective results can often be achieved just by focusing on the bathrooms, kitchen, and master bedroom. A key factor is to de-clutter the entire house, in order to best display your home’s unique qualities.
3.It will take too long.The truth is that even the most complicated staging projects rarely takes more than a week, and the average time spent is one to three days.
The housing market continues to be tough, and houses competing with bargain priced bank owned properties need as much help as they can get. Having your home professionally staged may be the added bonus you need to get a favorable price for your home.
