SELLING THE HOUSE FURNIS E FURNISHED — Its Advantages and Disadvantages —
Selling a home with furniture can be a great strategy in certain cases, but it depends on your market, buyer type, and goals. Here’s a breakdown of the advantages and disadvantages:
ADVANTAGES
• Turnkey Appeal: Buyers, especially first-time or out-of- town buyers, may find a fully furnished home more appealing because it’s Move-In Ready and saves them the hassle of furnishing. • Faster Sales: A well-furnished home can create emotional appeal and help buyers visualize themselves living there, which can lead to quicker offers. • Higher Selling Price (Sometimes): If the furniture is high- end, tasteful, and fits the home’s style, it may justify a slightly higher price—especially in luxury or vacation home markets. • Convenience for the Seller: If you don’t want to move or store the furniture, including it in the sale can save time, money, and effort. • Appeals to Investors: Short-term rental investors (e.g., Airbnb) often seek furnished properties they can rent out immediately.
