from 2007-2008

What a great time to be a buyer!  This is a report courtesy of Rainier Title showing the statistics of our current market right here in Kitsap County.

With the inventory of homes in today's market...

It is important to present the best home you can as a Seller!

Staged homes have been proven to sell homes faster and for more money.

Our homes are an extension of who we are and we are proud of them. In today’s market your competition is fierce. It is important to present the best version of your home possible. Buyers formulate an opinion of your home in a matter of moments. With all the homes available in the current market it is important to “neutralize “ your home to market to the widest audience. Think of your home as a canvas. When you bought your home you created your own painting. Now you want to present a “blank canvas” to potential buyers so they can imaging their own masterpiece! When staging a home you want to accomplish 3 goals…

1. Present a clean and tidy home in a good state of repair.

2. Accentuate positive features, minimize negative.

3. Create a fantasy for the buyer

You accomplish this through 3 simple steps:

1. De-Clutter, De-Personalize– Create a “Blank Canvas”

2. Repair what the eye can see –all those little repairs that you have been meaning to do, now is the time.

3. Clean, Clean, Clean– This is the MOST IMPORTANT step, Think Spring Clean!

4. Decorate – Set the buying scene!
