You engage
a realtor to assist with the sale of your home because of their
expertise in knowing your market area and what the current market will
bear as far as the realistic value of your home from a buyer’s
perspective. The realtor is
going to assess the value of your home based partly on what the market
will bear and the condition and appeal of your home. If you want to increase the listing price, and, ultimately,
the selling price, you need to prepare your home to shine in its best
light.
Top Five Reasons Home
Staging Works
-
Potential
buyers buy on emotion – if they can immediately imagine living in
the house chances are they will make an offer
- Few
buyers can look past crowded, cluttered rooms or image how their
furniture will fit in an empty room
- High
real estate prices make buyers more critical
- Dual
income families with little time and energy to spare drive the
demand for homes in move-in condition
- If
a buyer feels an emotional draw to the house they will often
overlook criteria on their list when they first walked through the
door
Recent
success stories emphasize the impact staging a home for sale can
make. A home in North
Vancouver recently sold in 3 days for $59,000 more than the
original figure the realtors wanted to list at before the
recommended improvements were completed. After staging, a home in Port Coquitlam sold for $50,000
more than the figure the realtors wanted to list at originally.
