How To Stage Your Condos for Top Dollar

Staging your condo for sale is the best way to make sure you are getting the most money you can for your condo sale. A staged home not only sells for more money, but it often sells much faster than an unstaged home. If you want tips on the best way to do it, look at this list to see how to stage your condo for top dollar.

What is staging, and why should I do it to sell my condo?

Staging is basically turning your home into a page from a magazine, and it involves a professional stager using your existing furniture along with rented items to transform the space. Professional stagers have the knowledge and experience in interior design to make any space look incredible. If you are unsure whether or not your space will appeal to everyone, you should call in a stager to ask for a consultation on your home.

Staging will likely increase your final sale price in many places of USA, but a larger percentage and many agents have reported a 6-15% increase in price for staged homes. If you’re selling your home for 400k, that’s an extra 24-60k on top of the sale price! Homes that are staged will often sell about twice as fast then those that haven’t been, so it’s an excellent investment. In USA People are much more likely to buy a beautiful condo in Boise, Chicago, Texas, and other popular cities than an outdated one.

Staging will usually cost you an initial consultation of about $30-$500, then usually $500 per room, which is perfect for those who are trying to sell a condo. The investment on your staging will be a few thousand, but that doesn’t even compare when you consider all of the great benefits that go along with it.

How can I stage my condo?

If you don’t have the time to bring in a stager, it’s a good idea to look at a way to stage the home yourself. There are quite a few simple and easy tricks you can use to make your home seem appealing.

1) Sort it out

The first thing you should do if you plan on moving is to sort out everything that you want to keep in the apartment during the showing. A stager will have access to furniture they can rent, but if you are going the DIY route, you need to use what you’ve got already. Keeping it to a minimum is the best way to go, so pack up all of your personal belongings, then start cutting down things you know might not be visually pleasing to everyone.

2) Clean it up

This one seems pretty obvious, and it’s likely you will be cleaning as you go but hiring a professional cleaner is the best way to ensure that your condo looks and smells perfect before you start letting people come in for showings. A professional cleaner will get into all of the areas you have likely been neglecting and make sure they are shiny and fresh before people start coming through.

2) Depersonalize it

There are a few times where a stager might end up leaving some personal items out, but they will likely ask you to remove anything that is personal to you. This includes anything with your family name on it, photos, fridge art, and knick-knacks that don’t have a purpose. You want to make the home feel move-in ready even if your stuff is still piled in boxes in the closets.

3) Show off its best features

The most significant selling point for most condos is the fantastic view that you get from the high-rise units. You want to open up all of your blinds and curtains to make sure you are getting as much natural light as possible while showing off the view to prospective buyers.

You also want to make sure you are showing off the size of the space, as condos tend to look too cluttered if there are too many items in the room. It’s a good idea to clear out a room and then add things back in until you feel like the space looks complete.

4) Make it look fresh

A fresh coat of interior design is one of the easiest ways to make everything look neat and tidy. Make sure you are sticking with neutral tones and colors that are not too dark so that you are appealing to all of the buyers that are coming through. You want them to envision their own furniture and items in the home, and that can sometimes be difficult if there is a tricky color throwing them off.

There are so many different ways to make your condo look ready to go and give it a professional look before putting it on the market. It’s one of the easiest ways to make a bit of extra money on your sale, and it’s an excellent way to make sure your condo will sell quickly.
