How To Make Your Mid-Market 3-Bedroom Place More Enticing For Home Shoppers In Fairfax County

What do professionals think you should do to show your colonials-style townhouse in a Colonial-style neighborhood like Fair Lakes Court? Photo of 12493 Lucas Dr New windows are expensive. Window treatments by comparison are relatively affordable. Textures, floral prints and wild patterns almost never help you sell your home. Box those window treatments now! Photo of 12493 Lucas Dr It's time to sell. That means it's time to erase your personal touches. In addition to removing your clutter, it's almost always a good idea to depersonalize. 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 townhouse for sale and it will soon be someone else's home. Photo of 12493 Lucas Dr Take a look at these image from 12493 Lucas Dr and think critically about your own abode. The consumer will always pick the best value for the price . . . especially if the price tag is around $614,000. Get rid of the floor lamps and table lamps. Unless a lamp is critical for showing the home, it should be prepped for moving day and hidden in your storage. Is it just too good to throw away but not worth selling right now? Give it to a friend. That aids both of you. Photo of 12493 Lucas Dr What should you do about your paint colors if you're mulling over the idea of selling in Fairfax Virginia? You can save a lot of money by painting yourself. On the other hand, if you can't do a professional job, you're much better off paying a painter to make your property look great. Vibrant colors, patterns and vibrant colors usually don't work well for home sellers in Fairfax County. Wallpaper can be very risky as well. Photo of 12493 Lucas Dr Look At these ideas:
  • I often think that cinnamon and vanilla are the best smells when trying to sell a home. You can let these toast in the oven on the day of an open house.
  • An empty home is not as appealing as a sparsely decorated home.
  • Arrange furniture to maximize floor space but to create conversation zones where a buyer can imagine chatting with friends or family.
  • Arrange things to display the rooms purpose. This can help utility areas like a mud room or a tool room or craft area.
My advice? If you're thinking about selling, get to know what's for sale in Fairfax near your home. How does your home stack-up against other propertys? Don't forget that the consumer always picks the highest value.
