Selling your home? Effective home staging is an important way to boost your property’s market value. Home staging means arranging and decorating your home so that a potential buyer is willing to pay more for it. The goal is to create a space that buyers can envision themselves living in happily, and to make your home seem like the home of their dreams.
Declutter
The first step is to get rid of clutter. Decluttering creates the illusion of more space. It means more than just getting rid of old magazines and tidying up – decluttering also means clearing away all of the family photos and personal bric-a-brac that make the space seem like yours, not the buyer’s.
Consider renting furniture
If your home is already empty, consider renting furniture to make it easier for the buyer to imagine living in the space. An empty room is too much of a blank canvas and might turn off buyers.
Detail your home
Just like you would detail your car if you were selling it, make sure that everything in your home is in tip-top shape. Make sure paint is fresh, fixtures are in good condition and the lawn is freshly trimmed.
Consider remodeling
Some remodeling projects, like a new garage door, nearly pay for themselves in added value to your home.
