Selling a home is tough in any market, nervous homeowners concerned about what prospective buyers think of their home and having their fingers crossed that a home inspection will come back ok!
Sometimes it’s the way the home feels, not just its physical attributes. Buyers make their mind up in the first few seconds of entering a home so as a seller your home has to feel right. Buyers must be able to imagine themselves living there – you can help that with home staging! However as for that “feeling” well, there isn’t much you can control there! Or is there?
Allergies can come into play – 60 million Americans are asthmatic, and if they walk into a home and cannot breathe, that is a problem. Air quality is of vital importance. Limiting allergens is great – so board the dog or cat (temporarily) while you sell you home. Check for mold and use products that contain low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (such as low VOC paint, shower curtains etc) and use rugs instead of wall to wall carpeting.
Also, clean, clean and clean some more! Clean with hydrogen peroxide or sodium perborate not bleach. Bleach is a common cleaning chemical but it has a very strong odor and, people with highly sensitive allergies to bleach, often immediately can sense symptoms coming on even if with just a brief exposure to the chemical.
Hopefully sellers these few tips can help enhance that “feeling” prospective buyers have when they enter your home!
