SELLING A HOME IS ALL ABOUT PRESENTATION
If you present a vacant house, buyers are often unable to visualize the empty space as a home. Even if the empty house sells, it is often for a price far below the list price.
Because the home is vacant, buyers expect a bargain – hoping to take advantage of an owner they think is desperate to sell.
If you present a Showhome, buyers are able to visualize the fully furnished and decorated space as their home. This personal connection leads to a premium sale price. Buyers make higher offers because they have already bought a home in their mind – they can see it as theirs, and will offer a premium price to make sure it becomes theirs.
