Markham House
Sold Result
This home was sold in 4 days after listed on the market. The sold price was 19.2% higher than the asking price, also about $109,500 (7.93%) more than average of similar sold properties in the area at that time. We were also very surprised by this result since larger properties are usually more difficult to sell and tends to stay on the market longer.
Background
This is a large home with 4 bedrooms, 1 library, and 1 loft. This home is approximately 3500 to 4000 square feet. It was also a vacant property. Upon consultation appointment with the realtor, it was determined that the loft of this home didn’t need to be staged due to cost-effectiveness.
Challenges and Problems
The sheer size of this home creates a challenge. The home was also not renovated. The furniture needed to be placed in order to make the house look less empty. The paint color and kitchen ceramic were also outdated. However, a renovation was not an opinion for the owners since they wanted the property to be placed on the market as soon as possible.

After Staging
In order to make the home look cozier, we used more rugs. The fireplace was emphasized through the placement of the sofa and mirror. Lighter colors were used in order to balance the outdated wall color. More paintings were also placed.
