Staging has long been part of selling a home, and for good<br />
reason. When selling a home, it makes sense for sellers to<br />
make their homes as appealing as possible, even if a recent<br />
study indicates that staging may not compel buyers to offer<br />
more money.<br />
Researchers at Old<br />
Dominion University and<br />
Johns Hopkins University<br />
found that staging did not<br />
have a significant effect on<br />
the actual revealed market<br />
value of a property. However,<br />
homeowners should<br />
not interpret that as a reason<br />
to skip staging. In fact, the<br />
study’s authors note that<br />
staging gave buyers more<br />
favorable impressions of a<br />
property, which might accelerate<br />
the selling process.<br />
Staging a home need<br />
not be difficult. n fact,<br />
homeowners can employ<br />
several simple and inexpensive<br />
staging strategies to<br />
entice buyers to make offers<br />
on their homes.<br />
• Clear out the clutter,<br />
especially in bathrooms and<br />
closets. Clear out the clutter<br />
in each room in the house<br />
before hosting an open<br />
house. Note that it’s not just<br />
bedrooms and living rooms<br />
that should be made to look<br />
open, spacious and clutterfree.<br />
A luxurious, hotelquality<br />
bathroom that’s open<br />
and airy can impress buyers,<br />
as can organized closets<br />
that are not jam packed with<br />
clothing, shoes and other<br />
wardrobe items that have a<br />
tendency to take over closets<br />
the longer someone lives in<br />
a home.<br />
• Let the sun shine in. A<br />
home that’s bright and airy<br />
tends to appear more spacious<br />
and livable than one<br />
in which the windows and<br />
blinds are closed. Before<br />
hosting an open house, open<br />
the blinds and crack some<br />

windows if the weather<br />
permits.<br />
• Start right inside the<br />
front door. A welcoming,<br />
clutter-free foyer or primary<br />
entryway makes a strong<br />
first imression, immediately<br />
giving buyers an idea<br />
of what it will be like to<br />

welcome their own friends<br />
and family into a home<br />
should they buy it. If you<br />
hang your coats on a coat<br />
rack in a foyer or entryway<br />
that does not have a closet,<br />
remove the coat rack before<br />
hosting an open house. Coat<br />
racks can make the space<br />
feel cramped. If there’s<br />
room, place a small table<br />
and bench just inside the<br />
door.<br />
• Take care of the yard. You<br />
only get one chance to make<br />
a first imression, and the<br />
first thing buyers will see<br />
when they pull up outside<br />
your house is the exterior of<br />
your home. Landscaping is<br />
important, and a well-maintained<br />
yard suggests to buyers<br />
that owners have taken<br />
pride in their homes, and<br />
that may extend inside the<br />
home. Make sure the grass<br />
is freshly cut, shrubs and<br />
trees have been trimmed,<br />
bald spots in the lawn<br />
have been addressed, and<br />
