Home Sellers: Benefits of an Organized Closet
If you're selling your home in Beavercreek, accept the fact that the space is no longer your own. Potential buyers will be examining every nook and cranny, including closets. Will they like what they see?
According to a survey from the National Association of Home Builders, storage space is one of the top features buyers consider in making a decision to purchase. Stand out above other Beavercreek homes for sale with these helpful organization tips.
- Do Some Ruthless Decluttering
It's time to let go of all those things you've been holding on to "just in case." Organizing experts recommend a goal of reducing stored belongings by half. Anything that doesn't make the cut can be donated or sold for cash to boost your moving fund. - Give Closets a Deep Cleaning
Even though clothes are clean when you put them in the closet, over time the space accumulates dust, cobwebs, and other debris. Add in the confined space, and some less-than-desirable odors can develop also. Once you've pulled everything out to declutter, give the closet a thorough top-to-bottom cleaning before replacing items. Expert tip: place scented dryer sheets in closets, drawers, and even pants pockets for a fresh, clean smell. - Stage the Closet like a Store Display
Think about how clothes are displayed in upscale shops. Hangers match (no wire hangers!) and all face the same way, articles are sorted by color, then subsorted by style, and appropriate lighting is used to maximum effect. Not only will this present a more enticing picture to buyers, but it simplifies the everyday process of dressing. - Incorporate Creative Storage Solutions
What image would you find more appealing? Accessories stored in a haphazard stack of clear plastic bins, or in charming woven baskets? Don't overlook the minor details. Potential buyers won't. - Avoid Storing Items in Spare Bedroom Closets
It may be an office or sewing room to you, but a buyer wants to see it as a nursery or kids' room. Keeping filing cabinets, bolts of material, or other extraneous items in the closets of spare bedrooms distorts that vision. Find another (out-of-sight) home for those items, at least while your home is on the market. - Show the Potential of the Master Bedroom Closet
No matter where you usually store clothing items, make sure the master closet is shown at its full capacity. You want potential buyers to know that all of their clothes will fit in their new space. Showcase available space for items such as shoes and handbags as well. - Consider Installing a Closet Organizer
According to Qualified Remodeler, installing a closet organizer has an average 57 percent return on investment, which is a comparable rate to home improvements like a major kitchen remodel or backyard patio. A customized closet gives buyers a more vivid picture of how their clothing and personal items will fit.
