THE BENEFITS OF STAGING

• Higher Sale Price. Staged homes typically sell for more money than unstaged homes. According to a report by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), staged homes can sell for 1-5% more than unstaged homes, with some reports indicating increases up to 10%. This higher sale price can significantly offset the cost of staging.
• Faster Sale. Homes that are professionally staged often spend less time on the market. Staged homes can sell up to 73% faster than non-staged homes. A faster sale reduces the carrying costs associated with keeping a home on the market, such as mortgage payments, utilities, and insurance.
• Enhanced Buyer Appeal.  Staging helps buyers visualize the potential of a home. According to NAR, 83% of buyer's agents said that staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as their future home. This increased buyer interest can lead to more offers and potentially a bidding war.
• Professional Presentation. Staging creates a polished, professional look that enhances online listings. High-quality photos of a beautifully staged home can attract more buyers, as 90% of home buyers search online first. This increased visibility can lead to more showings and a quicker sale.
• Competitive Edge.  In a competitive market, a staged home stands out against unstaged homes. It can differentiate a property from others in the same price range, making it more memorable to buyers and real estate agents.
• Maximizing Space.  Stagers use design techniques to make rooms appear larger and more functional. They can suggest layout changes and furniture arrangements that highlight the best features of the home and minimize any flaws.
• Emotional Connection. Staging helps create an emotional connection with potential buyers. A well-staged home can evoke feelings of comfort and style, making it easier for buyers to imagine themselves living there.
• Professional Advice. Stagers provide expert advice on decluttering, repairs, and updates that can enhance the home's appeal. They bring a fresh perspective and design expertise that most homeowners lack.
• Cost-Effective Investment. For every dollar invested in staging, sellers often see a return of up to $5. This significant return on investment makes staging a financially smart decision.
