House for sale? A few tips to increase its perceived value


Have you decided to put your house up for sale, but would like to enhance its value? In this article you will find effective strategies to win over your potential buyer at first sight.


Let's start with an important premise: the perceived value of a property is linked to the positive image the house creates in the mind of the hypothetical buyer.



Never underestimate the power of imagination



Your potential client must be able to imagine himself/herself in your house, live it and personalise it with his/her own things: the suggestion is therefore to avoid excessive characterisation. Therefore, reduce the presence of photos and personal items to allow visitors to visualise the house as a whole new project, ready to be customised according to strictly personal tastes.



Create a harmonic flow between interior and exterior



Continuity often proves to be an ace up one's sleeve: making the outdoors a continuation of the indoors expands the space and illuminates the property to the fullest. Therefore, enhance the views, whether windows or French windows, by always keeping blinds and curtains open, in favour of beautiful natural lighting.



Favour essentiality

 

Clean lines, light colours and neutral tones help the buyer to think that he can finish the space to his/her taste. Therefore, avoid brightly coloured walls, overly elaborate textiles or overly special furnishings that could be a mental barrier for buyers, preventing them from visualising the intrinsic potential of the home.



In conclusion, creating the perfect living scenario is crucial for attracting potential buyers and enhancing the value of your home on the real estate market. Rely on us for a successful sale and purchase: our real estate agents will give you the right cues to give your property the perfect appeal.
