Furnishing or Not when it Comes to Selling your Home?

There is conflicting information out there, about whether you should have furniture in your home when you sell it or not. Some will tell you having it gives people a chance to see the home lived in, which makes it warm and inviting. Others will tell you potential buyers like an empty property allowing them to picture their items in the prospective home. It also feels less invasive to them to look around a home without someone else’s personal belongings all over it.

Furnishing

When it is furnished, potential buyers may spend time sitting down and talking. If it is an open house, you do want to have places for people to sit down and relax. Most of the time, research shows a home with some furniture will sell before one that is without any. Of course you want to make sure the furniture is clean, organised, and doesn’t look cluttered, if you choose to have it in the home.

Without Furniture

It may be easier for you to move all of your belongings and then to put the home on the market. You do not want the hassle of leaving furniture behind that you will need to pay to be shipped later on. It may be best to take it all with you and to leave the home empty. If your home is appealing inside and out, and has a great price, it is going to sell either way.
