Home Staging Backyard: Stage For A Desired Lifestyle

June 22, 2013 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)
See the difference home staging makes.

After: Backyards are a very important part of your curb appeal.

The importance of curb appeal when selling a home is common knowledge. It’s also important to consider home staging your backyard. A buyer’s impression of your property includes all outdoor areas. Professional home stagers understand how to market every area of your home, inside and out. Here are some home staging backyard tips:
 
Outdoor upgrades are a good investment. When we look at a backyard, aside from the necessities of a well-kept lawn and tidy areas, we need to think like your potential buyer. Your backyard should be approached as an extension of the living space. It should feel inviting and appeal to a potential buyer’s desired lifestyle.

How will potential buyers use the outdoor space? For entertaining? For children’s play spaces? For pets? For veggies? For a quiet space to get away from it all? The answer depends on the type of buyer who is most likely to buy a property like yours in your neighbourhood.
 
Here are a few things to consider:
 
Privacy

  • Like an empty space inside the home, buyers will have a hard time imagining what to do with a blank canvas outside. Solve problems like lack of privacy or unsightly items on a neighbour’s property for them.

 
Hardscaping

  • Decks, patios, walkways. These can all make a difference in the lifestyle that a potential buyer feels is possible in the space.

 
Storage

  • Do you have a shed or some other area to store your gardening tools, patio furniture, toys etc.? Potential buyers will notice.

 
Lifestyle

  • Remember – potential buyers buy a lifestyle. What lifestyle does your backyard offer?

 
Invest in a professional home stager to help market your property – inside and out. For more information or to schedule a free staging assessment in Calgary, contact Jen at Set Your Stage today.
