Holding an open house requires a homeowner to prepare the home and this might include spending some amount for the staging. However, this doesn't mean that you have to hire a professional stager or spend some big amount for big home repairs and improvements. You can stage your home without spending too much. Here are some quick ways on how to prepare your home for an open house:
1. Go around the house - The first step in preparing a property for an open house is to know the condition of the home. This means that you need to know all the problems in your house that you need to fix before the big day. Perhaps the first thing that you will notice and that you will have to make some action is the old paint. Forget about your favorite color for now, use rich and contemporary colors. Never allow emotions to influence your decisions on which areas in your house you need to repair. Take note that this home will no longer be yours after a few weeks or months and you're doing the repairs for the new potential buyer.
2. Update your home - After the painting plans, you can proceed to the outdated areas in your home. Kitchen cabinets are the ones which normally need some repairs. You don't need to do some major renovations because that would be costly. Small repairs, and minor changes are inexpensive solutions to an outdated home and not only that, these can increase the selling potential of your property.
3. Fill in missing parts - Check your home for some loose floorboards, dog-eared linoleum, or missing railings. All of these missing pieces in your home should be filled in as soon as possible not only because you want your home to sell quickly, but you want your home to be beautifully safe for potential buyers during the open house.
4. Clear some areas for more space - Get rid of unnecessary things like small furniture, family photos, personal decors and accessories, and other things that don't need to be there for the potential buyer to see during the open house. By getting rid of some stuff, you can make your home look more spacious. Moreover, you can also rearrange some furniture so that all things are in proper places. Not only that it will add to the appeal of the interior but, it can add to the give home buyers chance to imagine themselves with their stuff in your home.
5. Repaired and painted, what's next? - Add some decorative pieces to specific areas in your home. Adding some flower pots outside of your home can actually add to the curb appeal of your home. How about some cookies or coffee to drink in the kitchen for the open house? After all repairs, paintings, changes, and arrangement have been done, show your home that anyone can live there by adding some really nice finishing.
