Keeping things neat and clean can be an important way to promote physical and emotional health. In addition, if you’re trying to sell your home, presenting it in the best possible light means cleaning up the clutter in and around the property when it’s time for pictures, video, or in-person tours. What are some reasons why this is so important?
While having personal objects around the house can make it feel “lived in”, it’s also very easy to go too far in that direction. A cluttered home may make it difficult for potential buyers to imagine themselves living there. If there’s a significant amount of clutter, they might feel like the reason why is because the house does not have enough storage space. That can be a significant dealbreaker for some people. Lots of clutter can also make a home feel smaller than it truly is. And last, but certainly not least, a prospective buyer may imagine that there are significant issues hiding behind the clutter.
