Many putting up their loft or condo for sale on the Minneapolis market don’t have a lot of available cash to spruce it up. While staging houses is a definite plus, it costs, as does many of the other suggested “to-dos.” Here are a few cheap, easy ways to make your loft or condo look more inviting to buyers:
1. Put up your personal stuff
Not every buyer looking at a loft or condo for sale in Minneapolis appreciates the fact that someone still lives there. Putting away the following things can help the buyers’ see themselves in the condo:
• your pet’s things (toys, litter box, bowls)
• your medications, toothbrushes and toilet accessories
• any toys
• knick-knacks and personal pictures
2. Create more space
Small, closed in spaces are major turnoffs for buyers. Create the illusion of more space by:
• putting up out-of-season clothes or clothes you don’t wear very often to make your closets look bigger
• taking one piece of furniture out of your bedroom
• packing up the small appliances in your kitchen
3. Touch on the trends
Chances are that some of the buyers are paying attention to celebrity trends. Feng shui is a big one, and you can do your part with just a few touches:
• add a fresh bowl of fruit to the kitchen
• put a comfortable couch or chair on the east side of your living room or den
• get rid of reds
Whether you see or feel a difference doesn’t matter. Keep in mind that you’re trying to appeal to potential buyers of your loft or condo for sale in Minneapolis, not make the loft or condo more livable for you. If it helps, pretend that you’re the buyer, seeing the home for the first time.
