Staging the home will:
• Distinguish it from the competition • Attract top dollar from homebuyers • Provide a visual edge over the competition
THE POWER OF STAGING WHEN S G WHEN SELLING A HOME
Consider these results from surveys conducted by the National Association of Realtors®: • Staged homes spent 50% less time on the market than homes that were not staged. • Staged homes sold for more than 6% above the asking price. • A staging investment of 1% to 3% of the asking price generates an ROI of between 8% and 10%. • Homes staged prior to listing sold 79% faster than homes staged after listing.
WHAT DO BUYERS WANT TO SEE?
Most home shoppers are envisioning a fresh start. If they can picture themselves living in the home, the home will be easier to sell. This is known as “interior curb appeal,” where the eyes are drawn to inviting spaces and light, as well as to unique features. Each room needs a purpose or suggested use. The home must feel new to reflect the ease of upkeep. The goal is to create a clean, simple, and contemporary feel. It is common knowledge that painting, updating fixtures, and eliminating stained carpets and popcorn ceilings can affect the appeal of the home by 75%. Therefore, staging can seal the appeal of the entire home, including the patio and surrounding yard space.
