Spring Market Boom and the Importance of Property Styling
Spring has arrived, bringing with it the market boom. As many of us know, spring often sees an influx of homes hitting the market for various reasons. Some sellers aim to settle before the Christmas break, others take advantage of the good weather to showcase their property for sale, and some are motivated by the increased competition, giving buyers more options to choose from. With more properties on the market, it’s crucial for yours to stand out to achieve the desired price. This is where property styling comes in – letting professional interior designers enhance your property’s appeal and making it more competitive in the spring market.
The Value of Property Styling Services
If you’re still unsure whether property styling is necessary or worth the investment, let us explain the importance of our property styling services and interior design. Property styling creates a powerful first impression, allowing potential buyers to be wowed by the quality and presentation of the furniture and accessories, making your home stand out among the many others they’re viewing. As we know, first impressions are crucial. At Blink Living, our qualified property stylists don’t just offer a ‘one look’ approach; we style each home to complement its unique features and highlight its best aspects—whether it’s architectural details, stunning views, or natural light. We also depersonalise the space, which is often overlooked. While homeowners may think their furniture is sufficient to show off the layout, professional property styling elevates it to another level. We carefully select furniture and soft furnishings that maximise the room’s functionality while also appealing to a broad audience. We remove personal items like family photos and unique décor, creating a neutral environment that allows potential buyers to envision the space as their own. This is essential, as it prevents buyers from feeling like they’re intruding on someone else’s home, making it easier for them to imagine living there. The psychological impact of property styling on buyers’ perceptions is significant, proving why our property styling service is so valuable.
The Impact of Property Styling on Sale Price and Speed
There are compelling statistics to support these observations—styled homes don’t just make an impact on potential buyers; they also perform better compared to competitors. It’s proven that property styling, especially when done by experienced professionals, can help properties sell faster. In fact, 83% of buyers’ agents agree that styling makes it easier for buyers to visualise the property as their future home. Thoughtfully curated styling that highlights a home’s unique features can result in a 6-10% higher sale price compared to non-styled homes. Additionally, 85% of staged properties sell for 5-23% above their listing price when styled with the right furniture and accessories. Property staging not only creates a lasting first impression during open homes, but a property styled by professionals also attracts more foot traffic and online views, often leading to quicker sales and more competitive offers.
Why Spring is the Ideal Time for Property Styling
Let’s revisit the market and why now is the ideal time to invest in property styling. During spring, the market experiences a significant boom. The mild, pleasant weather encourages people to explore new neighbourhoods and visit more properties. With flowers in bloom, it’s the perfect season for front yards to shine. Longer daylight hours lead to increased foot traffic, giving buyers more opportunities to view your property, even after work. Additionally, many people receive tax refunds in the spring, providing a financial boost for down payments. The widespread belief that spring is the best time to buy or sell often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, attracting a broader range of buyers as inventory increases.
