PODS® Shows How Decluttering Helps Homes Sell Quicker

VENTURA, Calif. - April 25, 2023 - PRLog -- Home staging is a crucial part of selling a home and it benefits both buyers and sellers. Being shown a thoughtfully staged home helps buyers picture themselves living there. For sellers, statistics show that staged homes can sell faster and for more money. According to data from the National Association of Realtors, 53% of sellers' agents reported a decrease in the days on market for staged homes.

Before you put your home on the market, clear the household's everyday clutter that takes focus away from your careful home staging. PODS offers staging tips:

Declutter: Allow prospective buyers to see more of the home and less of what's stacked up in it. When a home is staged beautifully, it helps potential buyers imagine themselves there.

Remove Half From the Property: As HGTV notes, when professional stagers prep a home for market, they often whisk away as much as half the owner's furnishings, and the house looks much bigger for it.

Transform Rooms: Once you have spaces opened up from junk, rearrange furniture accordingly. Organize furniture, artwork, or other memorabilia in the visually appealing coordination of threes. If there's more than three, consider storing items.

Focus on the Kitchen and Bathrooms: They have a lot to do with the resale value of your home. Replace vinyl flooring, refinish wood floors, or lay new tile for the maximum return on your investment.
