Why Add Floor Plans to Sell a Property Faster?
A 2018 National Association of Realtors (NAR) survey indicated that house buyers not only want to see a floor plan as part of the listing, they believe it is crucial information that must be supplied with every listing. This may surprise real estate brokers. Homeowners ranked floor layouts higher than neighborhood details and in the third place among listing components. According to a Rightmove study, one in five homeowners may even pass over a property that doesn’t have a floor plan.
But purchasers’ desire for floor layouts doesn’t make them valuable in and of themselves. Additionally, they benefit real estate agents. Floor plans can be a time-saving and crucial component of any real estate marketing campaign.
Floor plans are affordable, legal, and fast.
Here are some reasons why floor plans are beneficial for selling houses faster:
1. Floor Plans Enable Visual Communication
Everyone learns best visually, especially when it comes to purchasing a home. Realtors have already realized the significance of real estate photography. Naturally, prospective homeowners desire a look at the residence. However, as time goes on, property purchasers become more informed. Many people know that while a house may seem significant with its current furnishings, its true worth lies in its “bones.”
A floor plan not only reveals the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in the house. It also enables owners to view the size and position of these rooms in ways that images can't convey.
2. Floor Plans Can Help Homebuyers Decide if a Home is Right for Them Quickly
Offering floor plans to your buyers has an added value. It enables people to decide whether a home is ideal for them swiftly. People who are not interested in the house won’t contact you or request a visit. You can spend more time selling to people who are actually interested because you won’t be spending time on unqualified buyers.
A 3D virtual tour is another option you can use to draw even more attention to your listings and give potential Nashville homebuyers more details about the property.
3. Floor Plans Create Emotional Bonds
We aim to present a home in the best possible light using real estate photography and staging. However, no image can genuinely serve as a blank canvas for buyers to start picturing the house in their own fashion and filled with their own possessions. That empty canvas is a floor plan.
The obtrusiveness of other people’s furniture is not shown in floor designs. Instead, they emphasize size and layout, which enables purchasers to begin planning how the house will actually function for them.
4. Floor Plans are Beneficial to Real Estate Agents
The search for floor layouts is something that homeowners are aware of. Rightmove discovered that 42% of sellers won’t use an agent if they don’t provide floor plans. The expectation of floor plans may have arisen from the ease with which technology, such as the iGUIDE, has made it possible for real estate brokers to supply them. Real estate agencies also gain from providing floor plans because it helps with marketing and saves time. This is true of both buyers and sellers.
