Portland Home on the Market for 7 Months ~ then Staged & Sold in 10 Days

In the Portland real estate market, we continue to see that staging your home helps it sell faster when these other factors are in place:

• It’s priced right
• It’s in good condition (and staging is part of that, when done properly)
• The listing agent uses effective marketing methods to capture the target buyer

Our Portland home staging company was recently hired by the Trust Department of a local bank to stage a Vacant home in a lovely 55+ community that features a golf course and lake.  The listing agent told me that the single family homes that make up this community usually sell in less than 30 days; however this particular home had been lingering on the market for seven months.  It was a bit dated, but what it needed most was some life and color added to the white and beige paint, carpeting, tile, etc.  We love to take on challenges like this!

After being on the market for seven months, this home had two offers within 10 days and is now Sold!

Entering the house, here was the view Before

Staging added a lot more interest to the entry area & encouraged buyers to come in to see More

This formal living room was lifeless Before

Staging showed buyers that this room is more spacious than it appeared to be, when vacant

Before, the family room looked just “OK”

Staging this room highlighted the fireplace and the beautiful wood floors 

Before, the master bedroom is just a square box 

Staging enhances the bedroom’s potential for a better buyer experience 

A few more ‘After’ shots showed buyers how they could live in this home & and once again, the staging did its job!

Staging your home is not expensive … the investment more than pays for itself with a faster sale.  Contact your local professional home stager today and ask for their help in preparing your home for sale!
