Do Floor Plans Help Sell a Home?

When it comes to viewing real estate photos online, it can be difficult for buyers to see how the images fit together to represent the whole house. This is especially the case when the property is empty. With a floor plan, buyers can piece together the photos and property in their mind. The floor plan helps buyers to see where rooms are located in context to one another, and how the property “flows”. It also gives the buyer an idea of important details, such as the number of windows in each room, the way in which the space is oriented, and how much storage space is available.
This is an important advantage because buyers are more likely to choose to view a property that already “makes sense” to them thanks to the connection between the photos and the floor plan.
When marketing to out-of-town buyers, floor plans are an invaluable tool for communicating how the property “comes together”, helping to make these buyers more comfortable with buying a property they haven’t viewed.

What do some people say about floor plans in listing?

“A floor plan can save a lot of driving and looking.”

“Floor plan qualifies a buyer before even seeing the home.”
“They may not tell the whole story, but there’s a lot that can be determined just from the floor plan.”

“Floorplans would encourage potential buyers that know what they are looking for. It will also help keep away potential buyers that basically walk in the door and walk right back out because they hate the layout.“
