After years of living in the same home, it is natural to accumulate a good bit of clutter. If you decide to sell, there are likely to be plenty of objects you intend to pack and take with you when you move. At the same time, having all of these things out and on display in your home could be a turnoff for prospective buyers. A Phoenix storage unit provides the perfect solution, offering safe, convenient storage spaces in a variety of sizes to keep your belongings until you are ready to use them again in the future. For Staging Your Home According to AZ Central, home sales in our area are up by 22 percent. It is a seller’s market, and while you may be able to ask more for your property than you would at other times, you will likely face greater competition for buyers. First impressions are important, and when people come to view your home, you want to make sure they can see for themselves the great lines and the ample space your home provides. This is where a storage unit in Phoenix can help. Many people hire stagers, professionals trained in framing homes in the best light to attract qualified buyers. HGTV advises that one of the first things most stagers recommend is clearing your home of excess furniture and items that distract from the space. This may involve removing up to half of your current belongings. As many of these objects are likely to be valued possessions you want to hold onto, selling or simply giving them away is likely not to be an option. With a Phoenix storage unit, you can be sure these items will be kept in top condition when you are staging your home. We offer clean, climate-controlled units with drive-up entrances at a facility that is gated for security, yet easily accessible to you. Items to consider keeping in your unit while your home is on the market include: Living room furnishings: Pair down your furniture to a simple sofa and chair grouping. Keep one or two lamps, a coffee table, and an end table or two, and place everything else in your Phoenix storage unit. A framed mirror or a classic painting and a few decor items are fine, but you want to remove many of your own personal touches so prospective buyers can envision how their own belongings might fit. Kitchen supplies: Pack all of your non-essential dishes, glasses, serving ware, and pans. You want buyers to be able to open cabinet doors and be impressed by the amount of space. Bedroom items: Scale down to a bed, nightstand, and dresser to make the room look bigger and airier, and make a point of clearing out clutter from closets and other storage areas. Garage, yard, and shed equipment: Keep tools, sports or recreational equipment, and spare patio furniture in your Phoenix storage unit until your move to create a neater, more orderly appearance in and around your home.
