Sellers' Biggest Home Staging Mistake in Summer
Selling
By Jeanette Joy Fisher
Take advantage
of interior design psychology research and your
home buyers' natural physical reaction to your
home setting.
If you home languishes on
the market during the sweltering heat of summer,
take a look at how your normal everyday living may
be turning buyers off. Home buyers' can't help the
way their body reacts to your staging.
Home Staging Mistake
I can't even begin to number the houses I've
previewed during the day when the sellers were at
work. Most of the homes were depressing. Why?
The home sellers left the
window coverings closed to keep the home cool.
Don't make this home seller mistake.
Home Staging
Tip:
Open all your
window coverings that don't cover up an unpleasant
view.
And if you do have window
coverings hiding your next door neighbor's ugly
trash cans, make sure the natural daylight filters
through.
Home buyers select the home that feels good.
They also need to feel good themselves while
previewing your home. This means that you want to
support their circadian rhythm (CR). Science has
known about the concept of circadian rhythm for a
long time. In short, your CR is your body's
internal clock, and it regulates all of your
biological processes. CR is mainly dependent upon
sunlight to keep your CR regular and healthy.
Even if you don't know anything about CR, you're
familiar with its effects. For instance, if you
get sleepy in the mid-afternoon or if you seem to
get your best work done late at night, you're
being guided by your body's internal CR. That same
system controls things such as your heart rate,
blood pressure, and body temperature, so it's
important to pay attention to your body's natural
CR if you're going to be effective in your daily
life.
Although scientists haven't nailed down all the
factors involved, the most important factor
they've identified for keeping CR in balance is
sunlight. So keep your buyers happy--feeling
great. Open your window coverings.
Don't make this big
home staging mistake.
Let the sun shine in
and sell your home!
