The Importance of Curb Appeal and Home Staging When Selling

January 12, 2022 by Jarred

Are you thinking of selling your home? If so, have you thought about curb appeal and home staging? It’s what helps your property stand out from the competition, especially on real estate websites. For starters, curb appeal is all about the exterior of your house. It includes anything from the roofing and the landscaping to the driveway and the front door. If you think about everything that a buyer would see as soon as they drive up to your property.

As far as home staging, it’s all about preparing the interior. Some real estate agents stage homes, meanwhile some sellers hire professional stagers. It involves removing personal items and choosing decorative pieces to maximize what the space could look like for potential buyers. These are some great ways to help sell your home quickly. In a sea of similar homes at similar price points, investing in curb appeal and home staging may just result in a higher offer. Keep reading to learn about the significance of curb appeal and home staging.

You’ll never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Nowadays, it’s not very common for someone to see a home in person without looking at it online first. Real estate agents typically send listings to buyers via email, then they check it out in person together. This means that the first impression comes in 2D form, and it has to appear flattering online first. That way, the potential buyer can then decide to view the property in person. Think about what prospective buyers will see first.

They’ll click on a map and see an image of the exterior of the home. The paint, the roof, the awnings, and the plants are all part of its curb appeal. If they’re interested enough, they’ll click through to see the inside. This is why staging is important when you’re a seller. When potential buyers see photos of empty house after empty house, what will make yours stand out?

Homebuyers think about maintenance and perceived value.

To a buyer, a house is never just a house. It’s an investment. And to a seller, it’s the chance to make a little extra cash. One of the benefits of staging a home and enhancing curb appeal is the ability to change how prospective buyers view the property. Even if it’s still the same value on paper, they’ll be more likely to buy it if it looks like it could be worth more than it actually is. More importantly, a well-staged home with nice decor can distract from other flaws.

Removing clutter makes it easier for homebuyers to envision the house as their own.

When it comes to the home-buying process, it’s all about visualization. If you were planning to buy a house, wouldn’t you find it difficult to picture yourself living there when there are family photos of the homeowner? How would you feel about buying a home that you know has been in a state of mess and clutter? Would you want to go to a viewing if the virtual tour showed a lot of unnecessary furniture? That’s right. You’d be less likely to see it in person.

As a seller, you should be switching your frame of mind. It’s time to pause and stop thinking about your home as your property. Start visualizing it as a buyer. Seeing proper furnishings staged in a home can really help a buyer visualize the usable space. Maximizing the interior design and removing personal belongings makes a better impression on someone viewing the property for the first time. A fresh coat of paint for the exterior and a well-maintained outdoor space will ensure that your property is seen in the best possible light. With a good first impression, it may just sell well over asking price!
