Do You Know These Easy Ways To Make Your Home Stand Out?


by Melissa Gifford

You have done all the minor repairs that need to be completed to make your home sell in good condition. And although it has been a lot of work, you are committed to keeping your home exceptionally clean for prospective buyers during showings. However, you know that there is a difference between a good home and a "wow" sort of home. There is a difference between a clean home in good repair and one that will knock the socks off buyers. If you are ready to take the next step to selling your home quickly!! and for a profit, here are a few ways to make your home stand out among the competition.

Research Using Home Magazines

You can hire professional stagers to make your house pop, but a cheaper option is taking some thorough pictures of all the spaces within your property and heading to the local library. Look through the home and garden magazines for inspiration of professionally done bedrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces. Use these magazines and internet resources for ideas of how to update your own rooms. Many of these magazines will not only show off decorated rooms, but show you how you can replicate the look on a budget. Just be sure that you look through these resources with an eye for what designs will attract the most buyers. Very specific or very personal themes may alienate house buyers!! rather than impress them.

Raise Your Curb Appeal

The very first impression that a house makes is when they are driving up and looking through their car windows. You will want to wow them from the first time they see your house, and that means you have to work on your front part of the house. Make sure that you not only take care of the yard but also put a fresh coat of paint on the mailbox, as well the front door. Make use of seasonal flowers to give your house color and mulch in the flower beds to make them really pop.

Set The Table

If you have a formal dining space or eating area, go ahead and set the table as if guests are coming over. Model homes and designer magazines do so as a matter of course, but home sellers rarely think to set the table. Doing so allows buyers to imagine themselves having dinner there and provides the room with an inviting atmosphere.

Make Sure Each Room Has A Focal Point And A Theme

One of the most important home selling tip is to try to stage your house so that the potential buyer can see themselves living in the house. Along with that is also making sure that each room has a clear purpose. This is even more true for smaller houses and awkward spaces. Even if the buyer is not going to use the room the same way it will ensure that they think of every room in the house as a usable space. If you have something like a small loft you could turn it into an office by putting a lamp and desk, along with some shelves. Put some wire shelves up in the garage and organize things to make it look larger. Turn the big basement into a game room by borrowing a pool table. Don't think that the furniture needs to be expensive either because it does not. You can get stuff from yard sales, thrift stores, or even borrow it from someone.

In Conclusion

It is both possible to have a fabulous house without the bank account of a celebrity. With some good inspiration, hard work, and a discriminating budget, an ordinary home can look impressive with the right touches. If you are willing to put in the time and the effort, such differences can be the key to selling your house quickly rather than having buyers pass it by on the market.
