Many Realtors® will tell you that home buyers decide if they are attracted to a house within the first 10 seconds of walking in the front door. That is not a lot of time to capture their attention. Let’s face it, buying a home is a very emotional decision. Home buyers don’t simply buy a house, they buy a lifestyle, and there is not much for people to connect with in a vacant house.
Some spaces might confuse buyers because a use is just not obvious. Looking at the picture below, would you be able to guess just exactly what this room is?
90% of home buyers can’t visualize how a room could be furnished. An empty bedroom might appear uncomfortable and cavernous without some type of focal point.
Staging is all about creating a feeling in the house and helping buyers see the house at it’s best. In a vacant house it becomes very easy for potential buyers to focus on the flaws and not the terrific house it really is.
This beautiful house was vacant and on the market for 5 months with no offers. An offer was received within weeks of simply Staging.
Staging helps define a room so buyers can see how they can use the space. It creates a warm and inviting feeling so buyers can begin to envision it not as just a house but as their new home.
