To Stage or Not to Stage – A Toronto Home Seller’s Question
We are always asked ‘is it worth it to stage and/or paint and clean before listing my house?’
While it might seem logical that buyers would generally see all the great things in your home regardless of paint and organizing, the reality is that many home and condo buyers cannot see past paint colours or wall paper designs. Yes, it’s true that most buyers will repaint the home once they take possession but that doesn’t mean that you should assume they can envision your living room without the dark green border trim or chipped corners and baseboards.
The same goes for your puffy balloon window treatments and piled high furnace room. While we know it doesn’t take much money to take down dated accessories the buyers have difficulty seeing through this stuff. It’s doesn’t have to be too stressful…
