One of the goals in showing a new house to a potential buyer is getting them to envision themselves living in the house they’re looking at. This is difficult to achieve if the house isn’t properly furnished, which is why staging is one of the most effective strategies for closing the sale.
The following are some of the reasons why you should always stage your home before showing it to a potential buyer:
Highlight the Room’s Function
While a buyer could imagine how each space can be used, it’s much better to just show them. For example, setting up a couple of couches, a coffee table, a few end tables, and a TV in the living room will give buyers a clear idea of how the room can be used. This makes it easier for buyers to imagine how their own furniture would look in each space if they were to move into the house.
Define the Room’s Size
You might think that an empty room would look bigger than a room full of furniture, but this actually isn’t true. Buyers often have trouble imagining what can fit in an empty room, which is why furnishing it is so important — it gives them an idea of how big the space actually is.
Create a More Inviting Atmosphere
You want buyers to feel comfortable and at home during a showing. This won’t happen if the house is empty. However, if you furnish the house, you can combine the use of furniture and decor to create a more inviting atmosphere that will leave a good first impression on potential buyers.
