Old Homes vs New Homes

We all know that the Windsor area is booming with new home construction, that everyone wants… But what about the older home that looks and feels like a “NEW’ one. Previously owned homes have certain benefits that new homes can’t compete with“Location”, for starters. They tend to be in more established neighborhoods that have a lot of character and culture, and they typically have more developed landscaping and mature greenery.”

Not to mention that if you move in to an existing neighborhood  you likely won’t have to endure the noise pollution, dust and dirt that come with living in a construction site.


So why not as a Home Seller or Agent, turn the buyers head to an Old Home with character that has the same feeling as a New house. With Home Staging you can give the buyer “exactly what they want”… You can showcase your home to grab the attention of buyers by giving them the clean, large, moving ready feeling they are looking for in a new home construction.  Lower your competition when selling your home by putting your home into tip top shape you will be able to attract the same amount of potential buyers as a new home dose.

Many a people have a hard time understanding the concept of home staging. “What is Home Staging”, you may ask?

 “Home Staging is the act of preparing a home for sale” so the buyer can mentally see themselves living there.

Another question that I hear all the time is: “Do all houses need to be Staged?

All houses need to be staged prior to sale, if you want to sell for top dollar and be in the market for a short time.  90% of buyers cannot imagine themselves in the house that doesn’t show well. Buyers are looking for that show home feeling.

Why are we so closed to the idea of investing on maximizing the return on something for most of us is our most valuable asset (our house)?

Top 6 Reasons to Home Stage

7/13/2012

Oftentimes, home sellers fail to realize the kind of effect a well-organized home can have on the sale as a whole. According to Scott Bollinger, Licensed real estate broker at Commonsense Network brokerage, a proud part of the ComFree network, “Home staging affords buyers the opportunity to see the true potential of a home for sale.”

So why should you consider home staging when selling your home? Here are six reasons to home stage that will change your perspective on hiring a professional home stager.

Reasons to home stage #1Your home will sell fasterA staged home is a home that sells more quickly. According to statistics, 93% of staged homes sell, on average, in one month or less, as compared to the national average of 161 days on the market. “Many properties that I have staged have sold in one day,” admits Micheline Masson of PropertyStaged in Ottawa, Ontario. So by strategically placing furniture in the right places to maximize space and create a neutral and welcoming feel, you can easily sell your home more quickly.

And considering the cost, it is money well spent. “I would say a staging job is around $300 to $1,500 for a furnished home, while a vacant property would run between $3,000 and $8,000. Again, this all depends on the size of the home, what is needed and for how long,” says Masson. “Home staging is an investment, it should be on everyone’s list when selling because done properly, a staged property looks better and sells faster.”

The Ten Essentials

Here are 10 essential principles that you can use to give your marketing photos maximum effectiveness:

1. The primary purpose of real estate marketing photos is to present the features of the property.

2. Use a wide-angle lens to shoot interiors.

3. Remove clutter and stage interiorsfor best results. It’s a well-known fact that staging homes pays off. Homes sell faster and for a higher price when they are staged. Most lived in homes have too much clutter. Photos will look better and show more of the home if clutter is reduced and furniture is staged by a trained home stager.

4. The primary exterior shot is the most important photo.

5. Render interiors light and bright. Bright interiors are up-beat and make a more positive impression on the prospective buyer.
