How long have you been unsuccessful in getting a buyer or tenant for your home? It is probably a good piece of property, and maybe you're wondering why you haven't received any serious inquiries or offers. The property market has never been totally predictable, but there are certain guidelines one can follow to increase their chances of selling their home above market value. People who want to buy a home or are looking for rentals are very aware and choosy and are looking for comfort, location, and security among other things. Home staging your house to sell can be a definite plus. Of course, the one factor that can be directly responsible for poor response is bad location but bad location doesn’t have to prevent your home from selling. Having a dull, uninviting cluttered home can also prevent your house from selling or keeping it on the market longer than you anticipated. 

Statistics show that a home that is staged sells much quicker and for more money than a non-staged home. Non-staged homes are on the market on average for 30.9 days, whereas staged homes are on the market for 13.9 days. The difference in selling price is also astonishing staged homes sell 6.3% over the list price, whereas non staged homes sell for only 1.6% over the list price.

Takeaways
  • Home staging sells homes much faster
  • Potenital buyers need to feel comfortable and secure in a new house
  • Remove all personal items and clean, clean, clean
