According to the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA), homes that have not been staged before being put on the market sit unsold on the market for more than 140 days. Homes that had been staged sell in just over a month. This is what makes staging so attractive to homeowners.
That said, many homeowners worry about the costs involved in staging. However, some of the simplest steps that homeowners can take are also the least expensive. Here are a few ideas.
Vertical Blinds
Given the heat of the Florida sun, it isn’t a surprise that vertical blinds in Fort Lauderdale have grown in popularity. It turns out blinds are a solid investment come resale time, too. Tired-looking window treatments kill a home sale very quickly.
There are a couple of windows in particular that look great with a set of vertical blinds. Windows overlooking an impressive backyard or a sliding glass door that leads to an outdoor kitchen are candidates for vertical blinds. Sheer blinds let in even more light.
New Paint
Trendy colors may give a room a lot of pop, potential home buyers don’t like them for the most part. Homeowners who have invested in vertical blinds for their Fort Lauderdale home can compliment them with a fresh coat of paint in light blue or mint green. These colors make a room look soothing instead of overpowering.
Hardware
The good news is replacing the hardware in the kitchen and bathroom doesn’t cost much. The better news is there are few ways to quickly update kitchen drawers and cabinets than by adding some new handles made of brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze or stainless steel.
