I Am Tired of Talking About The Weather But You Have To See This! Stayton Oregon

It's a big topic in Oregon as record setting temperatures are the talk of the town. Cooling centers have been opened at both the Stayton Library, 515 First St and the Stayton Community Center, 400 W. Virginia Street. They will be open again tomorrow. Folks are being asked to check on their neighbors and relatives, especially those with special needs and the elderly.

We have a large time and temperature sign at our Prudential office and it was reporting this record breaking temperature! Just goes to show, we aren't the only one's that can't take the heat.

Looks like Real Estate is REALLY heating up in Stayton!

I Love Oregon, Let Me Show You Why!

We've been doing lots of staging consultations recently -- helping clients prepare their homes for entry into a market where there is lots of competition. Sometimes these consultations result in large projects being undertaken -- but so often it's the little things that make a huge impact as well.

A room may be decluttered and neutral, but still not have the pizzaz it needs to make it to the MUST see list as buyers zip through dozens of listings on the MLS.

And a kitchen can be spic and span -- and still have have a warm appeal (knives are not decor).

And a simple space . . .

Can have a cozier feel.

By inserting a little color and a few details - - these rooms have turned up the heat! The homeowners did all this work themselves, and as a stager, yes I would have done a few things a little differently, but I think these pictures still illustrate the point very well --- Details matter!

While buyers may shop logically for a home, offers are an emotional decision. Pricing will bring in viewers, but emotion is what brings in offers. So -- how to get the competitive edge when selling your home in a buyer's market? Appeal to their senses -- make sure the look, smell and "feel" of the home is inviting and desirable.

Professional home stagers are trained in appealing to the broadest market possible and creating an inviting haven. Don't underestimate the dramatic effect some simple changes can have on any room!

Creative Concepts and Contracting is a professional home staging company located in Salem Oregon and serving the Willamette Valley areas. By preparing your home from a detailed consultation report, you can have the confidence and tools you need to create a home that will be inviting to buyers.
