Planning to move? If you’re a homeowner, you may need to sell your current house first. For some, this could take a few short months. For others, it could take years. Selling and marketing a home, along with its many quirks and its neighborhood characteristics, can be tricky – especially in a saturated market. Thankfully, there are proven ways to greatly increase the chances of your home selling quickly and at the right price. One such way is by staging your home to appear as inviting and aesthetically pleasing as possible to all potential home buyers.
Key Takeaways:
- Chances are good that serious potential buyers will open cabinets and closets to assess a home’s space and storage situation. Prepare for the tour by eliminating all clutter from surfaces around the house.
- Going overboard with anything, even flowers or decor, can be a mistake. After all, you don’t want potential buyers to get so distracted with what’s in your home that they forget to look around at the home.
- The more items stuffed inside a room, the smaller the space will appear. Also, opt for light, neutral paint colors in rooms. According to Forbes, paint colors and palettes that instantly make a room more spacious, include: white, light citrus tones, sea shades, and pretty pastels.
