Valuable information for sellers.
Nowadays, people tend to have a lot of personal belongings, making the amount of storage space in a home a priority for many buyers. Older homes and condominiums, in particular, tend to have less storage space than some of the newer, larger homes.
Sellers can maximize their home's appeal by organizing and purging their belongings -- all while giving them a head start on packing for their move. Consider these tips to make sure sparse storage isn't the first thing buyers notice:
Stick to the basics: Prospective buyers should look inside closets and think that there will be plenty of room for all of their belongings. To avoid a packed closet, remove anything that is not used regularly, such as out-of-season clothing and formal wear. Pack these items up in labeled boxes and store them neatly under the bed, or in the attic, garage or basement.
Details matter: Think of your closets the same way you would any other room in your house. According to experts, painting the inside of closets a bright, neutral color and installing adequate lighting can make a great impression. In addition, use consistently sized and shaped hangers, and group similar clothing items together and facing the same direction.
Show functional options: If you have rooms in your house that have little or no storage space, make up for it by being creative. For example, if you have attractive pots, hang them on a pot rack. Utilize an under-bed trundle or a toy chest that can double as a bench or table in a children's bedroom or playroom, rather than clutter the closet or floor with toys.
