Regardless of whether it’s a buyers’ or sellers’ market when it comes to La Quinta real estate, homes that are staged well will attract more attention from prospective buyers. The more you can increase your property’s appeal, the greater chance you have of a buyer falling in love at first sight and making an offer.
Even the most gorgeous Palm Springs homes for sale can benefit from some additional work and tweaking to maximize their appeal in the marketplace. Most sellers are aware that their home should be thoroughly cleaned up and shown in its best possible light, but there is more to staging than just cleaning house. Potential buyers want to walk in and be able to imagine themselves living in it without having to put a lot of work in.
If your house is already vacant, it may behoove you to hire a professional stager to furnish some of the rooms with a stylish flair. While minimalism is good, when a property is completely vacant it leaves too much to the buyer’s imagination. While an occupied home filled with another family’s belongings can overwhelm viewers, it can likewise be difficult for someone without design experience to walk in and visualize a house furnished and decorated. Even the most gorgeous Palm Springs homes for sale need a little help.
If you are still inhabiting your home, jumpstart the process now by decluttering and depersonalizing so that you can allow your potential buyers to envision their own life in the house. Start removing as many of your personal possessions as possible—and that includes family photos and memorabilia. Other things to alleviate are seasonal items and holiday decorations.
Just remember, your goal is to create a clean, uncluttered space that anyone can walk into and feel good in. Sometimes it helps to freshen up the paint and hardware and remove some of the appliances. Reduce the items in the closets to only those you need, and pare down the bathroom items as well.
