In my area, if it is not a Foreclosure, it is probably a Short Sale. This is a buyers market and there is so much inventory, how does a buyer choose? Price? Location? Condition? All of these things? Or is one more important than the other? Prices are low, and all locations seem to be available. I believe CONDITION is the tipping point for most of these properties. If you are a Short Sale then time is of the essence!
Most buyers, if choosing a home to live in, will pick the one that they felt at "home" in when previewing properties. And all buyers, unless it's an investor / flipper, needs to have that feeling. If you are a Short Sale, competing against Vacant Foreclosure's you have a unique advantage ~If you prepare your home with home staging. Why? Because most buyers can not visualize where their furniture would go in a vacant house. If your property is properly prepared, the buyers will be able to imagine their belongings in the home. With proper presentation you are half way there!
Most Home Stagers offer consultations with detailed reports at a price lower than you might think. Staging costs are far less than your first price drop, and saves you carrying costs. Staging works! Let us help!
