This is a question that is being asked of me by home-owners with very large, unfurnished or partial furnished homes. More and more, I am seeing homes that are so big that the owners can not even afford to furnish all the rooms.
They have large rooms that are completely empty, and appear to have no identity or purpose. I am asking myself, “Why are people building homes that are so huge that the average family does not even use all the rooms”?
Consider the price of energy for heating and cooling these homes, it is no wonder why people are bailing out. Not to mention the rising property taxes on these mega homes and the mortgage crises.
So back to the original question: “To Stage or Not to Stage”?
If you are in the market to sell such large homes you have to show all the purposes of these rooms. Every room must have an identity. Exercise room, media room, home library, hobby room, computer room, etc. It must reflect something that a busy family of today would use these spaces for. If not, you are sending a message to buyers that this house is so big that they will not be using some of the rooms.
A Professional Home Stager can help create rooms that have meaning.
In today’s market, sometimes you have to think inside the box. Don’t leave the buyer wondering what a room is for, show them.
When ready to sell, make sure you are ready to be seen.
