Marketing a Studio Apartment: How to Make Small Spaces Appealing
Why would someone want to live in a studio apartment? One of the big misconceptions about studio apartments is that there’s a lack of basic appliances or that the living space is lost to appliances. Small appliances that appeal to the world market have existed for many years. But they have only recently shown up in common retail chapters, with more American consumers looking to reduce energy costs and due to space concerns. Even washers and dryers exist in small room units, which might speak to renters who don’t want to lug their dirty clothes to a laundromat or a basement laundry room. Upgrading these appliances to energy-efficient models is a worthy investment that will continue to save you money on energy costs for years, and it provides a great selling point when marketing your property.
Making the best use of space is one of the biggest ways to upgrade a studio apartment. Renters still need ways to store their stuff. Offering solutions right off the bat means they don’t have to head out to Ikea or build their own options. A studio with built-in bookshelves will get college students and booklovers to take a second look. Do-it-yourself shelves inspire ways to make a solution that works for the space whether its books, food or anything tenants need to store. Well-deployed storage units open up living space and make things seem bigger on the inside.
Furnished Apartments: Good Idea or Bad Idea?
Furnished apartments appeal to a range of tenants, however the most common types of people are either students, people traveling or those looking for a temporary housing situation until they settle into their new home.
Furnished apartments are appealing to anyone who plans to stay in town long enough to want more than a hotel room, but may not stay more than a year and are not immediately interested in owning property. This could be anyone from a relative who doesn’t want to impose on their family to a businessperson managing projects over a few months, or a student who is fresh out of the dorms with very little furniture, or one who has travelled far to attend school and didn’t want to bring a U-Haul full of belongings. The last thing these students need is to go into debt from having to furnish an apartment all at once.
