What Is Staging?
‘Staging’ is to the interior of a home is what “curb appeal”, is to the exterior. It simply causes many buyers to become emotionally attached to the house during their viewing. Polishing and accessorizing a home is important so that your house feels similar to a builder’s model home. In a nutshell, that’s what home staging is all about.
Is Home Staging Really That Important?
The most notable benefits of properly staged homes are the increased buyer interest in that property, and the higher level of serious prospects to buy that house. This typically results in a much faster sale.
Staging Vs Decorating
Home staging is different than decorating, and one cannot be compared to the other. Professional decorators attempt to satisfy a homeowner’s personal tastes. But with staging, the seller simply attempts to create an atmosphere that stimulates strong emotions from buyers, when they enter the front door. This leaves many buyers with lasting impressions that motivates them to want to live in your home!
Unstaged Homes & Price Reductions
For many homes that never get staged, sellers have fewer options to motivate buyers, without making unwanted price adjustments. This is absolutely true in markets where the supply outstrips demand.
The Results Are Proven
In industry surveys of thousands of real estate agents, a majority of real estate agents confirmed that by making a nominal expense into staging a home, those sellers realized an average increase in sales price of over $5,000. And in many of those instances, the increase in sales price was much greater than the cost of the staging. The most important truth though is that the sellers also achieved their goals of selling quickly, and did it much sooner than their competition.
