Get the Most Out of Your Square Footage

Posted By @ Jan 7th 2011 11:00am In: Sedona AZ Real Estate

If you're getting ready to sell your Sedona, West Sedona or Uptown home, you know that one of the most important things you AZ do to increase your sale price is to spend some time staging. After all, the better your home looks, the better the chances are that someone else will love it enough to buy it, too. However, many of the homes for sale in the Arizona area are smaller in size than what's currently hot on the market. While this doesn't mean you can't sell your home, it does mean that it might take a little extra work before you get that figure you're aiming for.

 

The truth is, there's no reason why your Sedona home has to be the size of a small country in order to appeal to homebuyers. Small spaces, while more of a challenge to decorate and stage, have quite a bit of potential for appealing to those looking for charm, coziness, and class. If you're doing the staging for your home yourself, here are few important tips in making your small home look like it's worth every penny.

 

  1. Get rid of the stuff. In any home staging effort, you want to get rid of personalized items and all the miscellaneous knickknacks that find their way into your home – including paintings and even overly unique drapes. This is never more important than when you're trying to make a small house look bigger in AZ.

 

  1. Go for neutral colors. Dark colors make rooms look smaller in size. By using light, airy colors, you'll give the appearance of more light – and therefore, more space.

 

  1. Offer storage options. Most people need to really “see” themselves in a Sedona home before they buy it. If you find creative ways to set up storage (such as in hidden cupboards, in strategic locations behind the couch, or even in a great set of shelves), you'll give the impression that the house is not only beautiful, but livable.

 

  1. Go for high-end details. Many of today's homebuyers are willing to overlook a smaller space as long as it still retains a high value. Things like crown molding, built-ins, great appliances, and hardwood floors AZ go a long way in adding to the charm factor.

 

  1. Use bright, strategic lighting. As with choosing lighter colors for wall paint, the idea of using light to give the impression of space is a good one. This is especially true if you AZ use track or recessed lighting to streamline the space even more.

 

Remember, there is no such thing as a typical homebuyer. By neutralizing your space and offering the little luxuries that allow people to envision themselves in your home, you're allowing them to look beyond square footage to see how your Sedona house for sale will help them create a lifetime of memories.
