Staging your Home to Influence Owen Sound Buyers

Staging your Home to Influence Owen Sound Homebuyers

Published - December 15th 2015 2 minute read.

Even the most desirable houses for sale in Owen Sound can face challenges when it is put on the real estate market. One main reason for this is the fact that home-buyers will often react viscerally to their perceptions of the living space. This is not always a factor of the actual structure or property itself, but can actually be highly influenced manner in which the space is presented. Staging can help to influence these perceptions, regardless of home that is being shown.

Stay current with the Owen Sound Real Estate Market

Outdated colours, decor and even furniture will immediately make an impression on a prospective buyer. Sellers need to understand that when they put their home on the Owen Sound real estate market often need to appeal to a more general and wider range of tastes. Staging can easily update the look and feel of a home, and can cause buyers to be more open to personal possibilities; instead of just the vision they are presented.

The flow of the rooms is also an important feature to consider, as existing furniture placement may be familiar to the present owner, but may not show off movement through the Owen Sound home in the best manner. This is often because the placement has been dictated by practical concerns, rather than visual impact. In many cases, getting rid of some pieces, or rearranging items so that they truly highlight the room is a simple way to make a big difference. The result can also be a fresh new feel to the rooms, which home-buyers will pick up on.

Highlight the important features on your Owen Sound Home

Another issue that will often happen as a result of practical needs is that some of the strongest features in an Owen Sound home can become hidden with decor. This can include.

  1. Window dressings which reduce natural light and make rooms feel smaller
  2. Area rugs that are easier to clean, but hide beautiful hardwood floors
  3. Extraneous clutter that cuts into room space or minimizes the appeal of closets
  4. Busy counters that do not show off the full extent of horizontal space
  5. Over many wall hangings that can detract from ornate wainscoting or crown moulding

Why you should retain the help of a professional stager to help you uncover these hidden features that are often strong selling points. This type of aid can not only highlight the good points, but can also play a large part in minimizing some of the less impressive aspects of your home.

By combining all of these positive factors, sellers will find that moving their Owen Sound Home is only a matter of perspective.
