- Staged Properties typically sell for More Money
U.S. Housing and Urban Development reports that staged homes sell an average of 17% more than homes not staged.
- Staged Homes sell faster.
MSNBC reported un-staged homes listed for sale spent an average 4.5 months on the market, while at the same time homes staged before listing spent fewer than 1.5 months on the market.
- While there is an investment made in home staging, there’s a great opportunity for return on the money invested. A recent HomeGain Survey of over 2000 Realtors discovered that sellers who used staging services, recovered up to 500% of the cost upon sale of their homes.
- Most Homeowners can’t see their house objectively. A staging professional can effectively position a home, or give a detailed, step by step 'Staging Plan’, for the the work to be done.
*HGTV recommends staging. In a recent HGTV program called “The 25 biggest Real Estate mistakes”, not staging a home was ranked #1.
- Fewer than 10% of home buyers can see a home’s potential. Especially in a vacant home, where staging is critical. Did you know most buyers estimate an empty home is10% smaller than it actually is? Staging can bring out a home’s potential.
- The longer a home stays on the market the lower the selling price will be. Staging means a faster sale, at a higher price, by adding perceived value.
- Selling a House ‘as is' helps sell its competition. Pretty sells. A properly staged home will meet or exceed buyers’ expectations when they walk through the door.
