To Stage Or Not To Stage Your Morris County Home
By admin | December 12, 2008
The old way of shopping for a Morris County home.
It used to be that the first time a home buyer looked at a home was in person, standing in the home. The home may not have been picture perfect but a prospective home buyer could use their imagination and see the possibilities.
The new way of shopping for a Morris County home.
Today, 84% of home buyers are seeing a home for the first time online. They are making decisions on how a home meets their needs by the pictures they see only. There is not much using of ones imagination to see the possibilities.
Showing your Morris County Home In The Best Possible Light.
It is very important when selling your Morris County home that the pictures to be used in its marketing be as good as possible. That is why I always recommend staging your home, at least for the marketing pictures. Think about it this way, if I show you a picture of a cluttered living room compaired to a elegantly staged living room with just the right amount of furniture, subconsciously you are going to like the staged living room much more. that is how home buyers tend to make their choices about which homes they like the best and actually look at in person.
Staged Morris County Homes Sell For More.
Morris County home buyers and home buyers around the world make value judgments by what they look at. These home buyers just put more value in a home that is staged over one that is not. I can point out to these home buyers that they can get a much better deal on a home that shows cluttered or needs paint, and minor updating, but for the most part home buyers don’t see things that way.
Staging To Sell Your Home.
Staging is about furnishings, fixtures, plantings, pictures, and paint.
Think about how you felt the last time you watched a truly great movie, you did not want to run to the washroom, or be interrupted in any way and wished for more when it ended. You want your home buyers to feel the same way when they are looking at your home.
The first thing you need to do is drive by your home and ask yourself, if you were a home shopper would it grab you and say you have to see me? Make sure your home shows well on the outside. Nice well kept plantings, as well as fresh paint help so much.
On the inside, the entry way and first rooms that home buyers will enter should be spotlessly clean, have fresh paint, and be decluttered. Your kitchen should have the countertops completly cleared of all appliances and other clutter so that it shows as clean and large as possible. All other rooms, should be clean decluttered and freshly painted if possible.
