Modern white residential house with red tiled roof and outdoor patio furniture.

In the Netherlands, recreational homes are for sale relatively longer than regular homes. In 2023, a recreational home was for sale for an average of 7 months¹. How can we reduce the term of your vacation home? Or increase returns?

 

Sales presentation is key

Several factors influence the duration of recreational real estate. You cannot influence everything, but you can optimize the presentation of your home. In general, it is the same as when selling a residential property. An attractively furnished recreational home stands out in today's competitive recreation market. The right decor with fresh furniture, creates a positive first impression and gives the potential buyer a concrete picture of the vacation home's potential.

 

Find the right look

Whether it's a beach house, villa or tiny house, people buy a vacation home for their own relaxation and/or return on investment. Does the furnishing match this as well? Does it create the expectation of a good holiday experience? You can sell a vacation home faster if you manage to appeal to your target audience. In general, a neutral look is best suited for this. It gives the buyer a chance to add their own touch to the property.

 

Help with furnishing

The concept of furnishing model homes and sales styling has been used successfully for years in the sale of new and existing construction. A stylist has a good view of a home and knows how to highlight a home's strengths. With knowledge of current interior design trends and how to apply them in a timeless way, he/she creates a good balance between functionality, comfort, durability and authenticity. This is how you show potential buyers that your vacation home offers a great living experience. For this, you can rent furniture and decorations as an individual or stylist, to be picked up after the sale.

 

Selling a furnished home

You can also opt for furnished sales. Although this requires an investment, you can also ask a higher price for such a furnished vacation home. The help of an expert can make all the difference here. An interior design specialist like Home Inspirations, has in-house stylists and an extensive network of furniture manufacturers and suppliers. They can systematically and purposefully deliver one or a series of recreational homes finished and ready to use. They think of every detail, from decoration to the molest-proof kitchen furniture.
