Are you looking to market your Colonial property similar to 9314 Arnon Chapel Rd in Great Falls, Virginia? Research has shown that staged homes sell nearly 40% faster than other properties on the market. What should you proactively do if your property isn't updated with the latest fixtures?
Home buyers make offers on homes where they can imagine living. It's easiest for a home hunter to imagine his belongings in the property when there are fewer of your belongings in the property.
I can aid with a yard sale or even arrange for a pick-up of unwanted items. Donated items can garner a tax credit.
I can advise you to throw a reverse housewarming party! We'll get rid of unwanted items before your first open house by letting friends, family, neighbors and interested parties help you put the home in order.
Are your blinds and curtains going to help your house sell?
If your windows are hiding behind cumbersome drapes and other coverings, now's the time to take them down. Leave your windows bare, or hang sheer linen curtains.
What paint colors appeal to buyers in Great Falls?
Paint is a pretty easy change to make. And, the wrong color inside or out can turn a buyer off from the entire house. On the other hand, the wrong color is relatively easy to correct.
A room with beige walls, wood floors, a rich brown sofa with accent pillows
is a good choice for staging. This is because a soft blend of neutral colors can be perceived as a larger room.
Your home is a personal statement about who you are. But when you put your home on the market, it's no longer your home. It's a product for sale.
When you decide to sell, it's time to return the home to a less personal space.
Your home is your most personal space in your life. But when it's on the market, it's no longer a home. It's a house for sale and it will soon be someone else's home.
Consider these ideas:
- Arrange furniture to maximize floor space but to create conversation zones where a buyer can imagine chatting with friends or family.
- Whenever possible raise the bar of your shower curtain or window treatments to make a space seem more airy.
- Furniture can leave an imprint in the carpet. When this happens you can put medium-sized ice cubes in the tracks. When the ice melts, the compacted carpet will expand and erase those imprints.
- An empty home is not as appealing as a sparsely decorated home.
