Staging your home on a budget can significantly increase buyer interest. Start with street appeal by cleaning the exterior, painting the front door, and tidying the garden.
Focus on the kitchen and bathroom by decluttering benchtops and deep cleaning. Create a blank canvas by removing personal items and rearranging furniture to maximize the sense of space. Showcase storage and use pleasant scents and good lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere. Professional staging is also an option, starting from around $3,000.
