Scents that help to sell property faster

2013-06-24   |  www.insmarket.bg

There are scents that help to sell a property quickly, according to psychologists.

Home buyers follow their noses and the wrong scent could cost sellers a property sale, according to recent research.

Dr Avery Gilbert, a psychologist who studies human responses to scents, nominated tobacco and cat urine as the odours most difficult to cover up and warned the resulting bad impression could carry through to buyers’ cheque books.

Alternatively, baking biscuits or brownies might make buyers feel as though the house belongs to someone else and less likely to see themselves living there, according to Dr Gilbert.

The best bet is a clean, fresh floral scent. Anything non-man-made is a good bet.

"If you have a highly pleasant smell, people get into a better mood as they are exposed to it. And bad smells will put people in a bad mood,'' Dr Gilbert said.

"People may not be as attracted, even if it is a fine property.''

He said finding a way to remove bad odours should be paramount when selling your home. "Don't try to hide it, try to remove it,'' he warned.
