How To Stage Your Home For A Quick And Easy Sale

Citizens in India need homes, and the government has made a pledge that every person in India will acquire a home by 2022. With great demand for homes, home sellers in India have an advantage, but they will need to stage their homes effectively in order to edge out the competition and sell their property quickly and easily. When it comes to getting a good price for a home, clever staging works wonders. This guide will help Indian homeowners to put the most positive spin on their properties by making them look fresh, clean and appealing to buyers.

A fresh coat of paint will update your space

Paint is a powerful staging tool that you should use to make your home look fresh and modern. Paint isn’t too expensive, and it’s possible to paint walls and ceilings DIY-style, so you won’t need to pay for labor unless you want to. When you add a fresh coat of paint to your home interior, it’ll smell, feel and look fresh in no time flat. White paint is always a safe bet, as white walls and ceilings make interiors look larger.

Refinishing flooring will be a smart strategy

Prospective buyers will be looking at more than walls and ceilings. They will also be checking out flooring. To impress prospective buyers, be sure to stage your house or condo by refinishing scratched wooden floors. Add a new top coat that boosts shine. If you have carpets, rip up badly-stained carpeting and replace it. If carpeting is in good condition, settle for deep shampooing to make it look and smell its best. If flooring is made from tile, look for damaged tiles and replace them. Any damage to linoleum flooring should also be addressed.

Get rid of clutter

De-cluttering a home is smart, whether you plan to sell or remain in your home for a lifetime. De-cluttering will allow prospective buyers to see the “bones” of your home, without being distracted by a lot of knick-knacks, books and furnishings. It will make it easier for potential buyers to visualize their own belongings in the space. Those who decide to stay in their homes rather than selling will find that de-cluttering gives them a new lease of life. It will open a space up visually, and create a sense of order and peace.

De-cluttering is a change that you may make to stage your home, and to enjoy it more while you are still living in it. Get rid of stuff you don’t value or use frequently. Donate it, sell it or put it into storage. Then enjoy the feeling of serenity that an uncluttered home brings.

Is selling really the right decision?

Before you begin staging your home, in preparation for listing it for sale, you should ask yourself if selling is really the right decision. If you’re planning on selling because you need more cash flow to handle the cost of living, there may be a way to hang onto your home. One option would be a reverse mortgage, which gives a homeowner aged 62 or older the power to convert home equity into cold, hard cash. Another option is renting out part of a home to generate income that helps to pay the bills. Perhaps the basement in your home could be converted into a rental suite? Another option is renting out your entire home for a time, and living in a rental suite that is cheaper. Pocket the proceeds so you so will be able to afford to live in your home again in the future. Selling is a big decision, and you need to be sure that you’re making the right choice. If you do believe that selling is the way to go, careful staging will help you to access a fast sale for a good price.

When it comes to home staging that helps home sellers to get better prices for their properties and unload their homes faster, painting, refinishing or cleaning flooring and getting rid of clutter are key. These home improvements won’t cost a fortune, and they will bring big dividends. So why not start staging your home for future sale today?
