The real estate market in Madison, WI is robust.  Both single-family homes and condos are selling at a steady rate.  In August, 2016 there was a two-month supply of condos and a 1.8 month supply of single-family homes, according to South Central Wisconsin MLS.  So what sellers are doing is “testing the market,” to see if their condo will sell in that average two-month time period.

Living downtown is convenient to the arts, two lakes (Monona and Mendota), University of Wisconsin sports, restaurants, state government, and community events.  People are looking for particular amenities such as underground parking, an elevator, perhaps a pool.  There are a lot of downtown apartments to choose from as well.

After a few months, the homeowner opted for staging and contacted Premiere Home Stagers.  Staging is all about conjuring up a lifestyle for the next owner.

I certainly can picture myself living here; perhaps getting a glass of wine from the wine buffet near the balcony. Or, perhaps working on the computer, paying bills, or keeping up with Facebook friends. You can imagine yourself sitting on the chair next to the window while reading a book and having a cup of coffee (on top of the books).

Who wouldn’t want to be woken up by daylight streaming through the patio door. You could leave the door open at night to catch the fresh breeze.

New photos will be taken and then uploaded to the listing.  Prospective buyers will have more to look at when previewing this listing and thus will be more likely to schedule a showing.  Call Premiere Home Stagers before you list your vacant property.  Staging is way less than your first price reduction.  608-345-9396
