You didn’t bother to stage the property?? Remember that as a home seller, you are not only selling the property you are also selling the idea of “home.”
Some buyers have trouble seeing past what a homes is - and staging a home can help highlight its best features, minimize the worst, and give prospective homebuyers some inspiration about how they might use the space.
And if you need more convincing, staged homes sell fast and for 1-5% MORE $$$ than empty houses.
Buyers buy with their eyes :)
For instance: When I sold my personal home. I went to town decluttering, de personalizing, and staging the home. So much so, that my husband was upset that his toothbrush was living in a bin under the bed. He said: “No one does this! This is ludicrous!” LOL. Well, the house sold with multiple offers, in a down market. Needless to say, he ate his words.
