When it comes to listing your home, many are of the assumption that you must list your home with furniture, often believing that the home will show better. While that is normally the case, we ask sellers to consider whether or not the furniture is in line with the price point of the home.
A home with outdated furniture might actually bring down the overall appeal of the home. For example, say your elderly parent has a home that has increased in value over several decades but their furnishings haven’t quite kept up with the progress. This could potentially be a turn-off to buyers and bring down the overall quality of the home. Consider a thorough professional cleaning and decluttering session to better assess whether or not removing furniture will help with the overall look.
Also, consider removing furniture and decor that trends more eccentric. While we all can appreciate a little individuality, sometimes personal style can impede on a buyer’s perception of the home.
