In most cases, people are selling a property they live in and have to think about reducing clutter. Sometimes, though, the opposite is true: they are selling a home that is unoccupied and may look bare as a result. If that is the case for you, these tips could help you sell:
- Flaws can stand out more in an empty home – Spend some time to look for scuffs, cracks, nail holes, etc. Then, paint of repair them before any buyers come to view the property. This goes for anything that is looking worn or a little shabby.
- Consider how potential buyers will perceive your home – Make sure there is a clear focal point to attract buyers’ attention. Also, while empty rooms can seem bigger, they might also lack a sense of scale. Having at least some furniture in there makes it clear how the room will actually function, helping viewers to imagine their own furniture in the space.
