Motivated Buyers

A previous survey by Realtor.com found that 79% of home buyers out during the holiday season were more serious. 61% consider less competition for homes to be a benefit. Additionally, potential buyers have extra time to view homes for sale during the holiday season. Relocating buyers also often use the time off to complete their search. Thus, it is possible to hear of properties going under contract on or around Christmas Day or New Years Eve.

Listing Your Home During the Holidays

If you are unsure about listing your property around the holiday season, consider the opportunities you may be missing from home buyers who really need to find a home and are visiting homes on the market. Sometimes it is better to be one of few options than to be one of an abundance of properties. There may be price and negotiation advantages when dealing with buyers who need a home and have few options to choose from. Home buyers purchase at all times of year, but the number of listings and number of buyers will change and impact prices.

Any agent or home buyer will tell you the importance of staging listings in Franklin TN and the Middle Tennessee area. There are several important advantages that make it well worth the effort. Below are some things to consider when trying to decide whether to stage your home while for sale.

The Importance Of Staging Listings

The fact is, the way your property is arranged can truly impact the number of buyers interested in your listing and its selling price. Staging highlights the best amenities of your property and can minimize the undesirable features. It also encourages buyers to realize the full potential of a space. These impressions can increase the interest level of those buyers. Ultimately, staging your home can help it sell faster and, in some cases, for a higher price.

Types of Home Staging

There are several different ways that a property can be staged and suggestions may vary based on specific properties. Here are just a few approaches that your agent may discuss with you:

Cleaning & Organization
Decluttering and Depersonalizing
Neutralizing Colors an Decor
Changing Furniture
Brightening the Space

When presenting your home for sale, you want people to think that it can be their home and not that they are intruding on yours. Although buyers are not purchasing your personal belongings, their impressions will actually be influenced by those items.

Debating Whether to Stage Your Listing

Properly embracing the importance of staging listings in Franklin TN and the Middle Tennessee area can help your property to sell faster and, in some cases, for a higher price. You do not have to attempt it on your own. Your real estate agent should be familiar with basic staging and can recommend a professional stager when needed. Their experience with home buyers and selling other homes will be a tremendous asset.
