What are the Key Rooms to a Buyer?
Whether you’re an investor in Sherwood Park or a homeowner looking to sell more quickly, it’s important to understand that there are certain rooms within a home that are considered “key rooms” to a buyer. So, what are the rooms considered “key?”
Entrance: As you may have guessed, the entrance (while not a room in most homes), sets the stage, the tone and the overall first-impression of the home. Here’s a picture of a home we staged in Edmonton, Alberta for one of our favorite investors
Kitchen: Given the amount of time we spend in our kitchens, it’s important to get it right when it comes to selling. A few upgrades will go a long way with helping to set your home apart from the others on the market. Here’s an example of a kitchen we professionally staged:
Living Room: A buyer needs to envision living within the home. Similar to the kitchen, it’s the room that they’ll spend a great deal of time in. Therefore, it becomes an important room to a buyer. Here’s a living room we staged (see below). This home went under contract in the first week after staging.
Master Bedroom: Whether large or small, buyers, when viewing a home, need to see a warm and inviting bedroom. An empty master with four walls, ceiling, floor and windows just doesn’t have the same effect.
Master Bathrooms: Just like us, buyers work incredibly long hours and become impressed with a master bathroom that looks and smells clean. A well staged bathroom allows the buyer to envision relaxing after that long day.
Dining Room: Last but not least, the dining room. While some may argue that dining rooms are on their way out, and they very well may be, a lot of homes have a dining room that is positioned in the front of the home. As a result, it becomes a key room to a buyer as it will be one of the first rooms they see when they enter the home.
With the above list being “key” to a buyer, it’s important these rooms stand-out. At Sherwood Park Interior Solutions, we proudly offer key-room staging for all of our clients.
