Staging is key

Real estate in Christchurch has certainly become a “buyers’ market” so what does this mean to those choosing to sell a home today?

Home buyers today tend to be prudent, and in order to sell a home they need to be motivated to love your property, says Annette Pendergast of Mike Pero Real Estate. “Advantages taken in preparation and presentation can work to minimise the time the home is on the market, while achieving the best sale price.

“You want to ensure that you property looks like the best value for money, and creates the best impression to your potential buyers,” she adds.

“In advance of listing a home for sale, take the opportunity to make repairs and freshen up tired areas to have both interior and exterior appealing and welcoming.”

With a visit to the property, Annette can run through recommendations on potential improvements, being mindful of the photography and the overall display of your home when marketing to sell.

She also encourages you to compare how the competition is presenting for sale, and she can keep you informed as to local property sale prices as they may influence the potential value of your home.
