Redesign ‘n Stay or Stage ‘n Go!!!!

Many people today are planning to redesign their home for a new look or stage their home for sale. First, why are many people doing a home redesign? The economy today has a lot to do with it. The housing market has lost approximately 50% of its value so selling a home and purchasing a new one is difficult or impossible if you have a mortgage. The option to a new home is to redesign the old one.

Doing a home redesign is very intimidating for many people. It involves a number of areas of expertise such as design theme, furniture selection, layout, color theory, accessories, fabrics, arrangements, cost control and budgeting, etc. In today’s economy many people are looking for ways to do it without spending a fortune.

More difficult for many owners is having to sell their home. Again the economy is the culprit. Realtors are not stagers, so what are your options? What is staging a home in the first place and why do you need to do it. Why can’t you just sell your home as is and the prospects can take it as is. Well, here are the reasons given by most professional stagers.

First, over time most families accumulate an enormous amount of furniture and goods. Unless you are a minimalist, your place will probably look cluttered to the prospect who is trying to visualize their furniture in your home. The prospect buys on emotion and you must appeal to them. Therefore, less is more appealing. Staging professionals know what to keep and what to discard. They know how to layout to create a pleasing visual arrangement to the prospective buyer. Second, color and arrangements are vital to get a quick sale and an acceptable price. Professional stagers have a list of key buying factors that are paramount to success. The success of stagers are evident if you watch HGTV go into a home that is not selling and by using staging techniques, help the owners to a successful sale.
