Staging Tips to sell your home in the Desert. Ever wonder what kind of home in the Desert brings the most interest, gets top dollar, and sells the quickest?
It just may be a home that is “Staged”.
Our busiest season is here! This is still a great time to get your home ready to sell!
Here are some tips for staging your home to sell in the Desert:
- Neutralize: Most people think that staging is about decorating, but this is not the case. You are trying to appeal to the average buyer and if they make an emotional attachment to your home they will see themselves living there. This is often missed and is a BIG part of staging.
- Declutter: By rearranging or storing furniture, thinning out your closets, and reducing the things on your bookshelf can change a room. Too much clutter in a room will prevent a buyer from seeing the beauty of the room or its size.
- Remove Distractions: You want the buyer to see your home and not your things, so by storing your collections and family pictures, buyers won’t feel like they are invading your space. Also, don’t forget to store anything that may seem offensive, such as something religious, political, gun, or animal trophies hanging on the wall.
- Rejuvenate: By putting a fresh coat of neutral paint on the walls, washing windows, or replacing worn-out fixtures can go a long way. A buyer sees these as something they have to replace and may start to subtract from your asking price, or if it t is too much, they could walk away. Buyers want move-in ready homes.
What if Doing It Yourself Seems Like a Huge Task?
If staging sounds too big of a task, consider hiring a professional stager (contact me for suggestions). Hiring a stager just may be cheaper than a price reduction or being stuck with paying for two mortgages later. Additionally, if the home is vacant, it won’t show well, so you may want to consider renting furniture.
Staged homes sell for a larger profit and sell in nearly half the time on in La Quinta and the Palm Springs/Desert area. A notable difference, indeed.
