If you’re considering selling your home this spring, you’re probably wondering what you need to do to prepare your home for the market. Staging your home can help show it in its best light and highlight the best features.
According to the National Association of Realtors®, 83% of buyers’ agents say that staging makes it easier for buyers to visualize the property as their home. Let’s dive into some of the top spring home staging tips you should be doing to prepare your home for the market.
Spruce Up Curb Appeal
Curb appeal is important because the outside of your home is usually the first picture buyers see online and the first thing they see when they pull up to the home. So you want to make a good impression!
After the harsh winter in Austin, the outside of your home will probably need some sprucing up. Consider power washing your home to give it that extra sparkle that buyers love to see when they pull into the driveway. In addition, spring usually makes you think about beautiful flowers and bright colors, so hire a landscaper to add some pops of color that will catch buyers’ attention.
Bring The Outside In
Pull from all the amazing spring elements by bringing some inside. When preparing for showings, pull the curtains open so the natural lighting can pour in. Adding fresh flowers to your dining room table or kitchen is an easy way to brighten the room.
Change Up Your Decor
If you still have some of your winter decorations up, now is the time to change them. Updating your pillows and blankets to reflect the vibrant colors of spring will help set the tone you want to give off to buyers. Adding candles is also a great way to bring a fresh scent to your home; just make sure it’s not too overpowering.
Spring Cleaning
Making sure your home is clean and decluttered is essential for showings and photography. It will help buyers get a feel for the home and helps spotlight your home’s best features. Take some time to go through items and get rid of or donate unwanted items you no longer use.
