If you are looking to sell your home, your goal is to get the most money possible in the shortest amount of time. One of the best ways to add value and appeal to your home is through home staging. You have a lot of options for how you want to go about it. You could hire a professional staging company, but that comes with a hefty price tag. Most of the time, a few simple fixes is all it takes to transform a living room. 

Today we are going to go through some of our most favorite, inexpensive home staging tips or you. We hope these will help you save both time and money when it comes time to sell your home.

A fresh coat of paint is always a good idea. Neutral, warm colors work best for highlighting the natural light in your home. This will make it easier to punch up the room with some colorful accessories and pull everything together.

A common design problem facing many homeowners is that they have no real entry way, as their front door opens up to the living room. To fix this, you can add a table, some lighting, and a rug to "fake a foyer" and make it feel like the living room and entryway are two different spaces.

A patterned rug, some pillows, or bright curtains add a ton of texture and an eclectic layer to the space, which is essential to a well-designed room.

In some cases, a "make-under" is just what you need. In the case of most fireplaces, taking some accessories and clutter away enhances the look and feel of the room greatly.

You could spend well over a few thousand dollars with a staging company, or you could do these fixes yourself for around $500. That's a small investment considering the value that you add to your home by adding those pieces.

Today I want to talk with you about what's going on in the market, and what you can expect as we head into the summer.

Right now, we are seeing a lot of multiple offer situations, and that means it's a great time to consider selling. There is a high demand for homes, and when you combine that with our low inventory, you see that every well-priced home gets multiple offers. When this happens, the sales price for your home gets driven up, netting you more profit. If you're considering selling, reach out to us. We can give you an idea of what your property may actually sell for on the market.

As a buyer, it can be tough to deal with multiple offers. Here are some things to remember before entering a market like this: 

1. Get that pre-approval letter, before you even start looking at properties. 
2. With multiple offer situations, homes may be selling just over asking price, so that's not a bad place to begin your offer.
3. Before you sign a contract, make sure the terms are favorable to both parties. We are experts in this and can help.

If you have any other questions, be sure to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!
