Home staging will be your best friend in this slowing market!
The year of 2021 saw soaring prices and high competition between buyers, who were taking advantage of the then active stamp duty holiday. As we move into the second quarter of 2022 house price growth is likely to slow as the market settles down.
When the market is slower there are less buyers in the market than properties, making it even more important that your property grabs buyers attention for all the right reasons.
With sites such a rightmove, zoopla, onthemarket… (the list goes on) it can become very hard to make a lasting impression with buyers. Unless your listing has that wow factor, more times than not they will simply keep scrolling. A smart seller understands that these sites are one of their biggest marketing tools. Buyers’ first impressions now come from online listings and we all know just how important a first impression is.
When moving buyers are looking for a fresh start and a change in lifestyle. Staging your property will emulate the lifestyle of your target market, helping the buyer to envision themselves living in the property and embrace a certain lifestyle. This makes your property more desirable and stands out to buyers over other homes that are comparable to yours.
A staged home creates a beautiful online listing that converts into in person viewings and viewings…create offers!
