When you list Palm Springs homes for sale or put Indio real estate on the market, your property needs to be as appealing as possible in order to yield the highest prices. Whether your property is an equestrian home, a condo or a single-family dwelling, staging it properly is essential for attracting prospective buyers. It’s essential to showcase your home’s greatest strengths and downplay its weaknesses.
1. Go minimalist. The best way to show a home is to leave something to the imagination. All the rooms of your home should look as spacious as possible, which means there should be no unnecessary objects and furniture. De-clutter and eliminate the excess and thin out any areas that look overcrowded so that the rooms look larger. This also makes it easy for interested parties to enter Palm Springs homes for sale and imagine their own furniture and belongings there.
2. Neutralize the decor. Everyone has their own individual taste, so it’s best to make the décor as neutral as possible. Restrict accessories and decorative objects to small groups—and keep it to just a few. Remove family photos and anything that personalizes the décor too much. Again, you want buyers to be able to walk in and imagine their own things inside. Some sellers paint two adjacent rooms the same color to create the illusion of more space. To enhance this further, match the curtains to the paint.
3. Use lighting. A property that is staged well feel warm and inviting. Often times, this is achieved with good lighting. Play with the wattages in all of your interior fixtures and lamps, as well as the outdoor lighting. Try to blend ambient, task and accent lighting throughout the house as seamlessly as possible.
