What is Home Staging?
Home staging is an art. It’s an art that makes money for home sellers by enticing buyers with positive feelings and moods, then drawing them in with illusions of space and light.
Staging goes beyond cleaning, de-cluttering and decorating to make your home look more spacious, warmer, brighter, and loving. Staging your home makes potential buyers want to buy it.
Home stagers are visual artists. They can often see things with a creative mind that others may over look. It’s about adding accessories, moving furniture to improve traffic flow, and lighting dark corners to bring it all together.
Think of staging as dressing up your home for a special occasion with an impressive result: a sale fetching many thousands above its listing price. It’s more than just ‘getting it ready.’
Professional staging is the next stage after all the clutter is removed, the house is clean and boxes have been properly stored. Home stagers paint a dramatic picture that engages all five senses, using your home as the canvas.
Home buyers buy homes based on emotion. When you hire the right stager, you’ll set a mood and ambiance in the home that transforms an open house of onlookers into a competing marketplace.
*Studies Have Shown that Professionally Staged Homes:
Sell Your Home Faster and Far Above List Price
•Staged homes sold on average within 24 days.
•Unstaged homes remained on the market for approximately 57 days.
•Unstaged vacant homes remained on the market on average for 190 days.
•Professionally staged homes sold an average of 6.4% above their list prices.
Home Staging Is More Cost Effective, Than Your First Price Reduction
•It costs less to stage your home then the average cost of your homes first price reduction.
Maximize Your Return On Investment
•58% of buyers made a decision to buy after seeing 10 properties – effective
staging keeps your house on buyers’ shortlist of properties.
•63% of buyers were willing to pay a premium for a move-in ready house.
•Top three interior selling features were freshly painted walls, organized storage space and current flooring – effective staging will address all three.
Reduce Stress
•Less time on the market means fewer showings, open houses and disruptions.
Adds Value
•Since a properly staged home has a higher perceived value, it shows very well.
•Because it shows well, it’s far more likely to sell first, setting your home ahead of your competition.
