Whether you’ve been living in the house yourself or you’ve been renting it out for a while, your property could always look better before putting it on the market.
Even if you’re just starting to think of listing your house for sale, it’s never too early to know your house staging options.
Here’s a few to get you started:
- Give it the ultimate spring clean. And it doesn’t have to be spring to get started. The first step towards any kind of sale is to get the product looking its best. A house is no different, so get dusting and shining before you get serious about listing.
Don’t hold back from decluttering while you’re at it. We’re talking about both trinkets and furniture here. You’ll need to do this if you go ahead with a full home staging, so why not start now?
- Consider your renovation options. While it’s a bit of effort, renovating your home before putting it on the market can make your price tag skyrocket.
Renovations include minor upgrades (such as kitchen and bathroom appliances) to complete façade makeovers.
- Take yourself out of the picture. It’s hard to objectively view something, especially if it’s something you’re emotionally and financially invested in! However, your styling tastes and eclectic treasures might not speak to the masses.
Draw inspiration from property site listings or even make a Pinterest board to see the going style. If you want your home staging to appeal to the broadest range of buyers possible, you’re looking for modern and minimalist interiors.
Although it’s early days, going through this checklist will help you determine your property’s market value, special features to promote, and improvements you could make.
Plus, if you decide now’s not the time to sell, you’re left with a sparkling clean home from your efforts.
