| A Show Home is a Sold Home
There's no doubt about it, when your home is for sale, it needs to be
set up like a show home. That means it must be clean, tidy and
sparsely furnished. Think about it on these terms: the buyer wants to
purchase a home, not your stuff. Eliminating extra stuff helps them
clearly see the home they are considering buying, whereas a cluttered
home becomes unappealing.
Another aspect of this is that your home can no longer be about your
personality. This goes beyond mere decorating, and in fact, it is
beneficial to keep your paint colors neutral. If you have a bold paint
job, some people might really like that. But the majority of people
would rather have neutral colors in their home, or decide on their own
bold color schemes. So if you want to sell faster, consider painting
over your bold colors with tones of off-white. That way, a buyer sees
this as a blank canvas waiting for them to fill.
