Case Studies
It can be easy to overlook the benefits of styling and a fresh coat of paint when it comes to listing your property. Upfront costs can be an obstacle for anyone in any situation, but the results of that investment often speak for themselves.
While there are a lot of factors that go into a sale price, the power of a well styled first impression can make all the difference. Let's take a dive into a few cases of similar/near identical properties with very different sale outcomes thanks to some maintenance and the sharp eye of a stylist.
Eastlake Parade, Kingston
▸ Same floor plan, same views
▸ Sold within three months of each other
▸ $255,000 price difference
These two properties sold within a 3 month period. They have the same floor plan, are on the same level, and in near-identical neighbouring buildings. And yet 7/35 Eastlake Parade went for a staggering $255,000 more.
The difference: maintenance and styling. The owners of 7/35 Eastlake waited until their tenant vacated to revitalise their property with freshly painted walls, small repairs and touch up maintenance. Next, they brought in the stylist, who used furniture and decorations to separate living and dining zones and showcase the view.
“The imagery is just so much better,” says selling agent Grahame O’Brien. “Buyers fell in love with the lifestyle.”
Burrumarra Avenue, Ngunnawal
▸ Identical townhouses
▸ Sold on the same day
▸ Professional styling yields $28,000 profit
Two identical townhouses sold on the same day. One, presented neatly with the owner’s furniture, sold for $450,000. The other, with the help of a stylist, fetched $478,000. Coordinated furniture and soft furnishings softened the space making it look larger.
“Styling makes all the difference,” says selling agent Adrian Stroh. “It pays for itself 10 times over. Buyers are more likely to click on a styled listing, and spend longer looking at the property. With nothing to pay until after settlement, it’s a no-brainer.”
College St Belconnen
▸ Two 1-bed apartments in the same building
▸ Sold one day apart
▸ Furnishings fetched an extra $17,000
These two 1-bedroom apartments sold one day—and $17,000—apart. The difference? Professional styling.
Furnishing the apartment made it look more spacious, more comfortable, and more aspirational. The listing generated strong buyer interest, and the seller was able to achieve a price that was $17,000 higher than their competitor in the same building.
“Investing that little bit of extra money in professional styling and marketing services pays off every time,” says selling agent Chris Uren. “I tell all my clients, you’ll pay for it either way. If you don’t spend the money to get your place looking nice, you’ll see a drop in the sale price because buyers won’t want to pay top dollar for something that looks shabby. Making that investment upfront pays off, often several times over."
