Sellers Guide: Staging Your Home To Sell

Sellers Guide: Staging Your Home

As we’ve discussed recently, the Windsor real estate market is firmly in the hands of the sellers, and while there may be some signs of some balancing happening, we are still entrenched in a sellers market. However if you are thinking about selling your home, you can’t assume that it’s as simple as list your home, get offers over asking, and sell. Buyers are eager but still want the right home, so you need to make sure your home looks appealing. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, first impressions are everything, and in today’s world most Windsor homes are seen for the first time online. When buyers search for houses for sale in Windsor, they will find your listing on a variety of websites, and they are going to immediately form an opinion on your home, and if it isn’t a positive one, you'll most likely have lost a possible buyer. Thats is why your Windsor REALTOR ® will tell you the importance of staging your home.

Are you an interior designer?⁠ If yes, then you’re off to a great start in staging your home and know the importance of staging in selling. We may not be interior designers either, but Jumpers will still stress the importance of staging and some even offer staging themselves or can get you in touch with staging experts!

Consider a situation our agents see often. We bring a new listing to the market and it is beautiful, impeccable even.⁠ Every person that views the home comments on how gorgeous it was. That is because the sellers worked with staging experts to get the home to look that way. Our staging partners are quick, flexible, on-trend and always bring out the best of a home.

Now consider this, the listing wasn't perfect. It had some shortcomings that prevented it from appealing to a lot of buyers. Even in our current market conditions, the home did not generate an abundance of showings. In these cases that makes every showing that does happen, critical. ⁠Our result? Almost every showing we have, buyers are blown away with the place and despite a lack of showings we ended up selling for a number our client loves.

That demonstrates the benefit of high-quality home staging. ⁠It increases the potential return on each and every showing, no matter how many you have. Yes the market remains in the favour of sellers, but that doesn’t mean selling your home is formality. You may not get flooded with showings you think you will, but with the help of staging you can make sure a higher percentage of showings result in buyers considering making an offer. Of course, the more offers, the better for you and the better for your sale price. So if you are thinking of selling, do it right, do the work, and get the results you expect.
