Homeowners wanting to sell their home are in for some good news as many real estate markets are showing signs of rebound. For example, Denver, Colorado is one such market that is seeing homes in the $100,000-$300,000 range sell quickly and for more than expected. However, despite these positive trends, sellers remain cautious and competition is tough, especially since foreclosed properties continue to saturate most markets.
Many home sellers are turning to professional stagers to set their homes up for fast sale and to remain competitive in this tough housing market. Professional staging will remove the personal characteristics of your home that may turn off a prospective buyer, setting your home up to appeal to as many people as possible. The goal is to have a potential purchaser see themselves living in the house as they are walking through.
Although there is no guarantee, history has shown that staged homes spend less time on the market and sell for far more than non-staged homes. And yet, many homeowners are reluctant to take advantage of this proven sales strategy, for several reasons.
1. It is too expensive. The cost to professionally stage a home can fluctuate. As the objective of home staging is to emphasize its positive features and downplay the negatives, a house that is already in terrific condition will have a lower bill to professionally stage it. Most professional stagers will meet with you and provide a cost estimate, and many are even allowing creative payment options to meet your particular needs.
2. It will be too involved. Home staging can be as simple as getting rid of your junk and moving the furniture around. On the other hand, it might demand a complete overhaul of every room in the house. The good news is that drastic of a tactic is rarely necessary, and focusing on a few main rooms such as the kitchen, baths and master bedroom will often give outstanding results. A major factor is to get rid of all your junk, so that the unique qualities of your home will be best displayed.
3. It will take too much time. In reality, the norm is one to three days, with even the most difficult staging jobs being completed in less than a week.
The home selling market is still very troubling, and homes up against cut rate bank owned homes need all the help they can get. A professional staging job could be the extra frosting your home needs to get a great price fast.
