5 Home Staging Strategies For Spring
Spring is a popular time for home buyers to embark on their touring journeys. It is also a wonderful time to spruce up your home as a seller! By embracing fresh colors and the newness of the season, you are sure to catch the eye of a potential buyer. In this article, we will explore five home staging strategies for spring and how you can incorporate them into your open house plan.
First and foremost, it is always recommended that you remove personal items from the home. This includes picture frames with family photos, large pieces of furniture that are family heirlooms, and unique decorative pieces that are custom to your taste. Not only will this help the home feel less cluttered to potential buyers, but it will allow their imaginations to race and for them to see themselves and their belongings in the space.
Have you ever walked into a home or space and noticed just how dark and dingy it was? Lighting is one of the first things that potential buyers notice in a home, so be sure to highlight the natural lighting that your home brings! Opt for sheer, light-colored curtains on window fixtures, and be sure to open the blinds and shades before you begin touring. If you have any spaces that are especially prone to natural light such as a three seasons room or deck area, be sure to highlight these along your tour!
You don't need to spend a lot of money on your open house in order to catch the eye of a potential buyer. However, we always recommend that sellers hire a professional cleaner to spruce up the space before tours are scheduled. Professional cleaners will be able to reach places that you might not be able to with traditional cleaning tools (and these are the spaces that many buyers will look at)! They will also be using professional grade products to clean, leaving the space smelling and looking brand new.
If you are only focusing on improving the inside of your house, you're doing it wrong! Don't forget to embrace the art of curb appeal when listing your home on the market. Making small improvements to the exterior of your home can make a big difference in the eyes of potential buyers. Planting fresh flowers, raking leaves off the lawn, trimming bushes, and even adding an extra layer of exterior paint can make all the difference.
The secret to a successful staging strategy is to enhance all of the senses of potential home buyers, not just the eyes! On top of hiring professional cleaners to spruce up your space, don't be afraid to add fresh flowers and light a few candles to make your home smell absolutely delicious upon entry. You can even lay out a variety of snacks and drinks for guests to nibble on as they tour the house!
