Home staging in Edmonton is one of the key ways to sell your house quickly and at the highest price. Many staging companies in Edmonton can help you get your home ready for sale, but Realty Unleashed offers this service for free, with no strings attached. We believe in the value of home staging because we have seen it work time and time again. While staging services can end up being costly, it really is worth the investment. The National Association of REALTORS® completed a survey in 2021, which found that homeowners could see a 5-15% return on investment when sellers staged their house before listing it. We are giving you 5 reasons why home staging companies in Edmonton will wow your buyers with their services!
Home staging sells your property faster and for more money.
When selling your home, the goal is to sell it quickly and for the highest price possible. In order to increase your chances of these things happening, you need to stage it before you list. Home staging intends to make your home shine to buyers; your home should look as best as it ever has! This is how you will stand out amongst all the other homes on the market. While home staging can be costly, the investment pays off, especially considering your home will likely sell faster and at a higher price than if you listed it without staging.
Home staging focuses on the buyer.
Designing and living in a home is personal, obviously. Everyone has a different taste in decor, design, style, etc., but when it comes to selling, your home has to appeal to the ideal buyer, not you. A staged home makes it easier for buyers to recognize when a house checks their boxes if you will. A home that is not staged makes it difficult for buyers to visualize the home and the space and even more difficult for them to envision their taste and decor; a blank, clean slate makes it easier for buyers to picture their stuff in your home.
Home staging turns online viewings into in-person viewings.
One of the biggest headaches of selling a home is getting buyers in the door. While people flock to REALTOR.ca to begin their real estate search, the magic happens when they walk into a home they love for the first time. When you stage your home before you list it, you are positioning your home to compete well against all the other listings on the market. A staged home brings in more viewings than a home that is not staged; it’s that simple. Why do staged homes get more traction? Because buyers can actually visualize living in your home. When a home is clean, de-cluttered, and de-personalized, buyers can step into your home and begin seeing how their life will look there.
Home staging helps buyers overlook issues with your home.
One of the other benefits of home staging is that it makes it easier for buyers to overlook any material issues that might come up. Not only that, but when buyers begin their search, they typically have a list of things they want to find in their home. By staging your home, you are setting up buyers to have fewer objections. Staging distracts from any renovations or updates that people may notice and instead, emphasizes how the clean and minimalist home makes a buyer feel.
Home staging makes your house look bigger.
The idea that an empty room looks larger than a room with furniture is just not the case! Of course, having far too much furniture, decor, and clutter can certainly make a room appear smaller. What buyers want to see in a room are the necessities and nothing more. They want to know how a room can be used tastefully. Less is more is the way to go; you don’t need to empty a room completely, but there is also no reason to fill it. Find the sweet spot and decorate minimally!
