Are your getting ready to sell your home? If you have a pool, it may be one of the selling points of your home that you want to make look its best. Homes that are for sale are often “staged” to help them look attractive to potential buyers. While this is common inside the home, the pool area is another place where a little sprucing up can help make your home appealing. Here are 5 ways to stage your pool to get it ready to sell.
- Clean the pool. Start with the basics. Make sure the pool is sparkling clean – hire a pool maintenance service to do a thorough cleaning shortly before you start showing the home.
- Replace any small worn fixtures. Even if they still work, if there are rusty, cracked or worn fixtures on pool equipment, replace them. These are usually inexpensive, but make the equipment look faulty or old
- Clean the pool deck and equipment. Giving the surfaces around the pool area a pressure washing can make the area look tidy and attractive.
- Add landscaping. If your pool surroundings look bare, consider adding some plants to give it a more natural or oasis appeal.
- Brighten the pool and pool deck. A little blue dye in the water, bright throw pillows on the pool furniture and other small touches can help add a little pizazz to the scene and make a good first impression.
Cleaning and a few small additions or repairs to your pool and pool area can make a difference on how buyers perceive your home. It is worth the small investment of time and money to make your pool area shine when you start showing your home.
