How to Make Your Home Appeal to Younger Buyers


You've decided to sell your home. It's a big step. It's not easy to even think that your beloved residence will soon be completely different than it used to be. Someone else's taste will be incorporated into the walls that hold your memories. Still, you can start fresh and make new fond memories. But, to sell your home in the first place, you will have to stage it to attract buyers. The largest buyer pool these past few years is no other than - millennials. So, if you want to make your home appeal to younger buyers, there are some things you should know.

Wow them, and they'll buy

Over the past five years, we've seen it repeatedly: young purchasers want to be swept off their feet. Millennials are well-versed in the use of the internet and are fact-based shoppers. While they begin their home-buying adventure with facts and numbers, lists of amenities, and lifestyle choices, their ultimate pick is almost always the property that makes their hearts skip a beat in the first place. When Millennial buyers are looking for a house, one of the first things that comes to mind is how the rooms will fit into their "ideal existence," which is oriented more on enjoyment than tasks that must be accomplished.

Now, about the staging

While house staging is a crucial component of any successful real estate marketing strategy, it is essential to realize that staging alone does not sell a property. But it will surely make the process faster.

  • declutter
  • clean
  • paint
  • draw attention to the greatest elements of your home

It's that simple. And most of the time, all it takes is a little elbow grease. 

The bigger the better

Nowadays, most Colorado millennial homebuyers seek more room and, thus, larger homes. And despite having developed a taste for city life, they're considering moving into the suburbs, such as Littleton. They dream of a single-family home with a yard where their kids can play, and parents can host al fresco family gatherings. You're in luck if you own such a home with a spacious interior and a gorgeous backyard. But if you don't, you might have to do some staging and decluttering to make it appear bigger.

A single decluttering session could help eliminate the excess and mess around the home. Your place will instantly appear bigger. Moreover, our experience has shown that most homeowners need to adjust their furniture and décor to create the illusion of additional space in their living rooms. If you're bringing in new furniture and carrying out your old, you can consider hiring local movers in Littleton. With so much other work to be done, the neighboring crew can help with the heavy lifting.

Comfy and bright bedrooms and living rooms

The term "comfort" has become synonymous with bedrooms. Making a bedroom more comfortable is easy to do. Invest in an "all-in-one" bedding set to combine the room's design. Bring your window coverings up to date. Mirrors are effective in increasing the visible space in a room. Lighting up your bedroom and the rest of your home is one of the simplest things you can do.

Comfort in the living room needs a sense of luxury to appeal to millennials. So, if you're looking for some luxury living room ideas, fantastic lighting is the best way to make it more attractive. If your lighting needs to be updated, do so. Ensure your fixtures can take the brightest lighting and that your windows are clean. Open the window curtains to let natural light stream in when displaying your property.

Make a spa out of your bathroom

With our hurried and demanding lives nowadays, we all enjoy a bathroom that exudes a sense of tranquillity and relaxation. No matter how ordinary your bathrooms are, you can transform them into spa-like retreats. You can make your bathroom look expensive quickly. Consider the amenities you'd find in a hotel bathroom: soft neutral tones, luxurious towels, a basket of upscale soaps and lotions, candles, and attractive containers and dispensers, to name a few.

Voilà, bon appétit

Kitchens are the focal point of any marketing trick you can use in your staging. However, it does not have to be prohibitively expensive. Cleaning and decluttering can make a huge difference in your kitchen... and it's completely free! If you leave your worktops entirely barren, you may create a vignette that says your kitchen is a beautiful area to spend time in. Place a big bowl of vibrantly colored fruit in the middle of the table or on the island to serve as a centerpiece.

After that, arrange your table and chairs to maximize your available area. In the kitchen staging, the use of a scale is essential. Smaller tables open up the dining room, making it seem more spacious. Allowing light to enter will visually increase the sense of spaciousness.

The curb can make your home appeal to younger buyers

Did you know that a buyer can tell whether or not they like a property within the first 30 seconds of seeing it? We have worked with purchasers and set up multiple properties for them to preview, only to have the buyer drive up to the property and say, "Forget it, let's go look at another property". All that, just because the curb looked unappealing. Almost every study has repeatedly concluded that curb appeal can affect your house's value. All of the guidelines that apply to staging the interior of a property are also devoted to producing the outdoors of a home.

All in all

So, here's our perspective on how to make your home appeal to younger buyers. Of course, you're always free to develop something new and keep it original - and you will be correct. That's precisely the way to attract millennials to buy your property.
