WHAT IS HOME STAGING?
Home
staging is the preparation of a home to sell by a
professional who specializes in this form of decorating.
Most professional stagers will tell you that how you
decorate to live in your home is very different than when
you are trying to sell your home.
A
professional home stager can objectively view a client’s
home as a product and highlight the positive attributes
while downplaying the negative ones. They understand the
home’s target market and they create emotional connecting
points throughout the home to make it more appealing to
buyers so that the home sells more quickly and for more
money.
When
only 10% of homebuyers can visualize the potential of a
home, it’s critical to stage so that the benefits of the
home aren’t left up to the buyer’s imagination. Staging
creates lasting impressions for the buyers and helps your
home stand out from the crowd. It is about “packaging” your
home so it appeals to the largest amount of buyers. In
fact, statistics show that staged homes sell 50% faster and
on average for 6-10% more money than homes that are not
staged! For a $300,000 home that could mean an extra
$18,000-$30,000!
So if
your goal is to sell your home for the highest price the
market will bear in the shortest amount of time, you can’t
afford not to make the investment of staging your home. And
if you’re thinking about reducing your asking price,
consider staging first! The cost of staging is less than
the average price reduction and it may be all you need to
get that “For Sale” sign to say “SOLD!”
