HOW TO MAKE YOUR HOME POP
Today’s slower real estate market makes it even more important to have your home stand out among the crowd of properties for sale in your neighborhood. You have two choices if you want to have your home sell quickly: You can either lower your asking price, or you can make your home more attractive. A home seller who utilizes both these methods by asking a fair price and doing some home staging will move to the front of the competition.
Most people don’t realize that a home that is staged sells approximately 32 percent faster than non-staged homes and sells for 3 to 10 percent more!
You can have your home staged by a professional who will come in and give your home a makeover. But you can also do a lot of the staging yourself. And it always costs less than your first price reduction.
Ask your REALTOR® to suggest the best ways to stage your home. With a fair price and a beautiful environment, your home will certainly pop out among the competition.
