Home staging: layout, fresh paint, tidying and cleaning are the keys to your success.
How to sell your home more easily: You need to empathize with the buyer and put yourself in their shoes!
Clearly, you have to put yourself in the shoes of someone who might buy the property. "What prospective buyers are interested in are the spaces, not your furniture or your private life," explains one real estate agent. In short, "remove those heavy drapes, get rid of the huge antique wardrobe in your bedroom, create light and space, and highlight the strong points of your home. With these small adaptations, visitors are sure to have a completely different impression when they enter the various rooms of the house."
The "home staging" technique
It's a kind of home staging. It allows you to sell more faster and more expensive. It's a form of real estate marketing. In concrete terms, this technique is based on a few basic principles: de-clutter the space, depersonalize it... In short, you need to provide a neutral decor so that everyone can easily imagine themselves living there. The selling price will be the better for it. The idea is to appeal to as many people as possible by depersonalizing the decoration through the de-cluttering of rooms, small repairs repairs, new furnishings, or refreshing paintworkand storage and cleaning. It is estimated that home staging can sell or rent a property faster and with up to 15% added value over the average selling price. The reason is easy to understand: most potential buyers just can't seem to get past the decoration and theatmosphere of a home or apartment. The idea is to provide the necessary neutrality so that any person or family can visualize their daily life in this home or apartment.
Meeting candidates' expectations
For the rest, you need to meet the expectations of prospective buyers by placing your home in the right category. The basic characteristics of the various housing types (townhouse, two- or three-family house, detached house, duplex apartment, penthouse, loft, etc.) are self-evident. But within these general categories, there are still differences. A spacious, detached home in the country, a villa, is distinguished by the number of bedrooms or bathrooms, a townhouse by the size of the garden, and an apartment by the presence or absence of a parking space and/or terrace. It's all about making the most of your home's assets to keep up with the times. A case in point? Real estate professionals are noticing a strong desire to live in the countryside. Customers everywhere are looking for properties with gardens.
Define an objective value and a fair price
Defining an objective value. In order to determine the price of your home, several basic criteria, such as the year of construction of construction, location architectural style and any other properties for sale in the area. The memories that bind you to the home are priceless... but the future owner doesn't have any yet! These memories can therefore play no part in setting the price.
The right price. A final piece of advice is to offer a fair price when selling a house. On average, private individuals overprice their property by 10%. As a result, the house or apartment doesn't find a buyer. As a result, the property stays on the market longer, and ultimately loses its value. Those who fear this pitfall can turn to a real estate agent. An independent appraiser can help to define an objective value. He or she will provide a balanced appraisal in line with the market. Because if the real estate agent overvalues a home, he won't sell it. And if he undervalues it, he'll make less money. Estate agents generally charge a commission of 3% when selling a home.
