When it comes to listing your property, it’s essential to look out for uncommon home features that may be deterring potential buyers. As experts in the art of showcasing and selling houses, we show you how to turn these pesky property problems into results that work for you.
1. Is your house an easy style to sell?: Stay objective in market trends
We have the answers to any conundrum in real estate and believe no house is a hard sell when marketed correctly. With a few minor tweaks and adjustments, we can put your property on the most-wanted lists. It takes careful planning to achieve a desirable structure and layout for a family home. Space, form, furniture and landscaping all play a role in how your home functions and appears to buyers. All it takes is awareness of your property’s strong points and how to highlight them.
2. Use furniture and paint as an illusion: Optics are everything
Spacious homes are a prerequisite for any serious buyer who wants to invest in a property long-term. Many people are looking to grow their families, have pets or enjoy entertaining. All of these things require space. If you are short on the square footage, you can still be a strong contender and make the buyers’ shortlist by incorporating techniques that allude to space and comfort.
3. Are you making the most of your current features?: Work with the blueprint
Consider the dimensions of your room closely and choose furniture that will allow easy movement. Individual seating arrangements can look more high-end than couches and can elevate your room to a different category. Choose centrepieces such as coffee table books, candles or flowers and most importantly, remove all clutter from your home. A small space laden with unnecessary objects will look more cramped than it actually is. Smaller rooms work well as niche rooms such as a study, library, bar area or even a sun room that emphasises the natural light.
4. Turn your home’s unique features into a win: Focal points should stand out
Many homes that have a different decor style are considered eccentric. While most buyers are looking for a blank canvas they can put their stamp on, showcasing a property that has an artistic edge can sometimes be a deciding factor. Feature walls don’t need to be removed, but can instead add to the charm of your home by merging texture and style. If you have an uncommon feature wall or something more high maintenance like an indoor pool, you can sell your home by marketing its individuality. These features are often searched for by buyers with contemporary taste.
5. Use architecture to enhance a theme: Play up your natural elements
Is your home a classic Tuscan style? What about the nostalgic Victorian-esque era of window shutters and clean lines? Whatever the architecture of your home, you can play up its appeal by aligning your decor to be on brand. Bold pillars and arches lining your outdoor space? Stay on trend by cultivating a garden that is fitting for the royal family. The aesthetic of a property can be deemed sophisticated and luxurious, as long as it’s well-maintained. Clean walkways, fresh paint without chips, sparkling windows and in-season plants make all the difference.
6. Shades of success: Use colour to make a statement
Colour schemes from the outside in make your property appear cohesive and expensive. If you have an unusual home it’s best to appeal to that one-of-a-kind angle that encourages buyers to see your property as a must-have investment they simply can’t pass by. Using colour palettes in the same tones is the easiest way to achieve this.
7. Choose imagination over a blank canvas: Don’t be afraid to stay authentic
Your decor style will reflect your travels and memories of your life in a home that tells a story. Don’t shy away from letting potential buyers take a voyeuristic glance into how sentimental your home is to you and could be to them. Represent its usefulness by adding pleasure to the mundane by highlighting features such as your patio to watch the sunrise, a vintage fire place to spend family game nights in front of, or a simple swing set where kids can play outdoors.
