The sale of second-hand homes has boosted spending on home reform. The budget has been increased by 5% to condition the houses before introducing them into the real estate market, according to the latest data.

In this process of conditioning, both individuals and real estate agents are committed to the technique of home staging. That is, make the most of the housing for sale through an improvement process or tuning.

The first impression counts a lot when buying a house. The properties for sale besides liking must stand out. In a growing market, standing out from the competition ensures selling the property faster and, in most cases, at a higher price. The home staging, technique imported from the United Areas, landed in our country coinciding with the economic crisis. This coincidence was not accidental. When there is a lot of housing offer, you have to present the product better. Now that the market has stabilized a little, home staging still makes sense to sell real estate more easily.

There are two rooms that are a key to attract the attention of the future buyer in the process of finding a home. According to the experts consulted, the kitchen and the bathroom area are the highlights. But the outdoor areas and the bedrooms are also important. According to experts, one of the main mistakes made when selling a home is to maintain its status. The furniture spoils with the passage of time and the decoration can add years to the house. The set-ups can be quick and cheap. For example, in the bathroom or kitchen through the use of enameled paint on the tiles or the adhesive wall covering imitating the mosaics. Or simply rejuvenating a sofa with a fabric and modern cushions to tone. Paint discolored walls, leave few furniture or even paint any of them, following the motto “less is more”, always appreciated.

We still have much to discover in this field. But we are learning with practice this creative and comforting task.
