Home Staging Tips from Riverside Abstract

Written by Posted On Tuesday, 23 April 2019 06:21

If you are planning to put your house on the market, it goes without saying that you are hoping to sell your home as quickly as possible and get your asking price. Home staging is a tried and effective strategy for getting homes off the market faster and at a higher price. It is a method of decorating meant to highlight your home’s most impressive assets and help buyers imagine themselves moving in and living there. Do it properly, and you should have no problem selling your home quickly. However, home staging can be a costly expense, especially if you have multiple homes on the market at once. These home staging tips provided by Riverside Abstract can help you move that home off the market, all for a reasonable price.

Recent staging statistics show that somewhere around 49% of agents representing buyers believe that home staging has an effect on how a buyer views the home, with 77% of them saying that it makes it easier for buyers to visualize the property as their own. On the sellers’ agent side, 21% report that home staging increases the value of a home between 6% and 10%, and 39% note that it truly reduces the total amount of time a home is on the market. With so much to gain, it makes sense for sellers to put time and effort into staging their home, and fortunately, many of Riverside Abstract’s staging tips don’t require spending a lot of money.

Choose Wisely

When it comes to home staging, not all rooms are considered equal. You want to focus your efforts on the rooms that have the biggest potential to influence buyers’ decisions, and spend less time on the rooms that won’t make much of a difference. According to Riverside Abstract (find them on Manta), the rooms that hold the most importance for buyers are the living room, master bedroom, and kitchen. These are the rooms that you want to focus the most on when you’re staging a home.

De-personalize the space

The primary goal of home staging is to help prospective buyers visualize the space as their own. The fastest way to accomplish this is to set as blank of a canvas as you can. You want the home to have style and charm, but at the same time you don’t want it to suggest that this home belongs to the seller, not the buyer. So pack away any family portraits you have around the house and show them the home it could be for them.
