Staging Your Home to Sell in Reno’s Competitive Housing Market
Staging is different from decorating. While decorating is about bringing your personal style into your home, staging is all about the buyer. When done well, it allows buyers to imagine themselves in your home, makes it look appealing in listing photos, and highlights the good features while minimizing any flaws. First impressions for buyers are relevant to the home's showing. It does make a difference to buyers in making a decision to buy.
Home Staging tips to keep in mind!
Pay attention to color and light. Use it to your advantage to brighten up spaces in your home.
Depersonalize and declutter.
Clean from top to bottom, and don’t forget closets and cupboards.
Consider rearranging, removing, or replacing furnishings
Apply a fresh coat of paint, especially in high-traffic areas.
Update light fixtures, faucets, and doorknobs.
Clean screens and windows inside and out.
Perfecting Curb Appeal
A buyer’s first impression is likely from online photos taken and staging the home, but your curb appeal will be their strongest impression: well-groomed laws, hedges, trees, and landscape. Ensure the exterior is clean and the trim and facia if pealing, and your roof is in good condition. All add to your home’s curb appeal.
It can be difficult, but if you put yourself in a buyer’s shoes, you may see more areas you can address to improve your home’s staging.
