Declutter and organize
Buyers put a premium on homes with plenty of storage space, and if your home is cluttered they’ll feel as if the house doesn’t have what they’re looking for.
Clean out your closets and remove about half the stuff in them so they look spacious and organize everything from your clothes to the kitchen cabinets to the garage. Buyers will imagine their own stuff will be just as organized and fit just as perfectly, without stopping to consider that you may have had a lot more stuff before listing the home.
Many people find it helpful to rent a storage unit for their stuff while showing their home. If you don’t want to go to the expense, even storing stuff in your garage or car can be better than a cluttered home. And, moving is also a good chance to throw stuff away or donate it, so consider what items are superfluous that you can get rid of before you have to pack up.
