Top 10 Reasons People Walk ...

There could be a reason why it seems that no one likes your home and you can't understand why.  Some things potential buyers can't ignore and they don't have anything to do with your home!

I was browsing on line and found an article about the "Top 10 Ways to make Home Buyers Hate Your House".  It was an interesting read but unfortunately, not that uncommon.  We run by quite a few of these "turn offs" regularly, when consulting on homes and condos for stagings.

Here are a few of the Top 10 ...

Odours

We all have heard that there is a strong connection between scents and our minds.  A sweet scent can remind you of a loved one, a yummy scent can make you feel warm and comfortable ... reminding you of Grandma in the kitchen.

The same is true for bad scents.  They can make us feel uncomfortable, unhappy and even sick!  If you have pets, or smoke or even a lot of perfume type air freshers, you can be risking the sale of your home.

Dirty Bathrooms and Kitchens

Leaving these rooms dirty, is an instant turn off.  "If these rooms are dirty or moldy, what is the rest of the house like?" people can think.

These areas need extra attention.  Paint, hire a cleaner even a handy man to update tiles and fix grout.  It will be worth it in the end.

Busy Wall Paper (and crazy paint colours)

We have talked about this one before!  Prints and colours that you love, can turn off many people coming to see your home.  Bite the bullet.  Get over the fact that every one doesn't share your sense of style and re paint in a neutral colour that is inviting.

People want to see themselves in your home, not see YOU in your home.

Thankfully, all of the Top 10 reasons potential buyers will walk away from your home (and a few others too) are fixable.  Here at Toronto Condo Staging and Design Inc. we have come across all of these issues and are fully able to help you overcome them!  Call us today and we can help you get a better look ... and smell, of your space!

  2. Thanks for the post. Those are the main things to consider if you have a home. It is a plus factor if the house is clean, bright, relaxing, comfortable and peaceful and of course well ventilated.

  3. It is important to avoid some of the turn-offs while home and condos rentals as now a days well furnished and modernized homes are preferred by the people.
