OK-- this is going to be an interesting job! The homeowner has lived in the house for over 30 years and has made very few changes in that time. The bones are great: it has the charm of the Cape Cod style, four bedrooms, two full baths, some hardwood flooring, a cozy fireplace, and it's in a great location in an historic town. The house, however, is in need of some major updating!
When staging, we always keep in mind who the target audience is-- who is likely going to be looking at this house? In this case, our target market is first time homebuyers. That means that this home needs to appeal to them. According to a 2006 National Association of Realtors survey, the median age of first time homebuyers is 32. So when we stage a home, we need to keep those homebuyers in mind.
Now, I know these photos may be a bit alarming but stay tuned!
We have great plans for this home and can't wait to get the work done and get this house sold!
