Home Staging Tips in Palm Beach County- Take It Off…Take It ALL Off!
No…it’s not what you think! But if your house is on the market or if you’re even thinking of selling your home, you know that today’s buyers prefer move-in ready homes. Any repairs and updating they perceive they have to do will go into the “minus” column when they make their decision to buy and what to offer.
Wallpaper… that favorite that is either “in or “not” has the potential of screaming “DATED” when the buyer sees it. Of course wallpaper can be removed, just as walls can be painted.
However do you want to risk a buyer:
1. Not being able to “see” your space and its possibilities because they’re so focused on the paper.
2. Factoring in how much it‘s going to cost them to remove the paper, and paint.
3. Passing and putting a contract on a house just like yours but that has been updated.
This condo had location and a great view of the Intracoastal but the wallpaper was stopping the buyers as soon as they walked through the front door.
Once removed and painted, even the owner was amazed at how fresh and open the entry looked.
I have removed wallpaper myself once and it is doable. There are wallpaper websites that will take you step by step on what to do and even provide a list of materials you’ll needto buy. You can also calculate the cost of having someone do it for you.
Can you sell your house even if you don’t remove the wallpaper? Of course you can… but why not maximize each showing by doing what you can to make your home move-in ready.
