Home Buyers Want To Be Able To See Themselves In The Home

Filed under: Uncategorized — gbeaty @ 1:33 am

When preparing a home for sale, sellers should remember one cardinal rule: Less is more. Home builders have grasped this concept incredibly well and have used it to their advantage. Think of a model home. In general, model homes are tastefully furnished, free of clutter, and decorated in neutral, universally appealing colors. They may not have much “personality”, but this is actually a good thing when it comes to selling a home.

Buyers want to be able to see themselves in the home. Furniture and décor items are there only as props, or tools to help buyers visualize how their own personal items will fit into the home. Bold colors, clutter, bric-a-brac, and family mementos only serve to interfere with the buyer’s vision. It’s becomes much more difficult for a buyer to envision themselves in a home if they can’t get past the “personality” of the home’s current owners.
