Vacant New Home on the Market since 2006, now Staged ~ Will Staging Help it Sell?

This beautiful new construction home in Lake Oswego, a lovely suburb of Portland OR has been on the market for nearly 4 years! Now a foreclosure, our Portland home staging company was recently hired to stage it.  With about 3,300 sq ft the home has some wonderful features, but the previous online photos before staging indicated a couple of challenges which we felt could be overcome with proper staging.  We hope that this home will now be more appealing to the target buyer, and are crossing our fingers for a sale!

This previous dining room shot on the MLS didn’t show the full size of the room, so after staging it we took 2 photos to give buyers a better idea of the room’s size and it’s features …

The great room has fabulous windows that let in lots of light, but without furniture the room seemed more like a huge cavernous space, so we warmed it up with furniture, art, and accessories so that buyers could imagine living there …

The bonus room has a built-in desk, but we staged it and photographed it to show another use for this room …

Perhaps most challenging was the Master bedroom; feedback had been that it was too small when it was shown vacant. We staged it to show a queen bed, two good-sized nightstands, a tall chest and an accent chair.  Hopefully now, buyers will see that it can accommodate the furniture they need …

When you’re selling your home, make sure that it appeals to your target buyer.  A vacant home just won’t appear as warm and inviting as one that’s been professionally home staged.  Good online photos help draw those buyers in … after all, you need as many showings as possible to get the best offer 🙂
