Why Use Staging?
- You will make more money
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reports that a staged house sells, on average, for 17% more than a non-staged house.
- Your house will sell faster with less headaches and hassles
The New York Village Voice reported that the average number of days on the market for a staged house was 13.9 days vs. 30.9 days for an unstaged house.
- The cost of staging ultimately doesn’t cost a dime
In a 2003 HomeGain Survey of more than 2,000 REALTORS® it was discovered that sellers who spent up to $1,000 staging their homes recovered almost 200% of the cost in the sale of their home.
- Most home sellers cannot view their house objectively
If you can’t see objectively, you can’t package effectively. A staging professional can provide you with a specific action plan for showing off your home’s full potential.
- Less guesswork and do-it-yourself
A professional home stager can manage your projects from start to finish, or at least give you a detailed enough report based on her extensive knowledge and training to allow you to do the work yourself.
- Only 10% of homebuyers can visualize the potential of a home
That’s why staging is so important. You may have a great house in a great location at a great price, but if a buyer walks in and is unimpressed chances are he’ll scratch it off his list and look elsewhere.
- The longer your home stays on the market, the lower your selling price will be
Don’t settle for less and lower your price. Have your house staged instead. The relatively small investment up front will pay off handsomely at closing.
- Leaving your house in “as is” condition will only help sell the competition
Right now the number of homes on the market is at a record high, which means buyers have more choices than ever before. If they don’t like the way your house looks, they’re not going to buy it. It’s as simple as that.
