After all the hard work to make your house saleable, you don't want the house to sit on the market for any longer than necessary. Staging a house is one method to make your house more attractive to a potential buyer, but only if done correctly and with some forethought.
Research has shown that homes sell approximately 32% faster when they have been staged. The homes also sell for 3% to 10% more. Those numbers tell us that staging your home is one of the most important things you can do to increase the selling price, and decrease the time spent on the market for sale.
Simply put, homes that are staged look good, sell faster, and for more money, and that is why staging the home is highly recommended.
Staging is the process where furniture, accessories, window treatments, etc. are arranged in each room of the house to give the lookers something to look at. More precisely, staging allows the potential home buyer to better picture what their furniture and accessories will look like in the space, plus it shows off the space too. Both of these help sell the house faster and for more money.
The home that most buyers eventually buy is the home that was chosen largely by emotion, and to separate your house from other houses, it needs to be staged. Staging is all about emotions.
Staging is important because when a buyer walks into a home, most know within the first three seconds whether that home "feels" right to them. Staging makes your house look bigger, brighter, cleaner, warmer, more loving and, best of all, it makes home buyers want to buy it.
Selling your home, and living in your home are two separate items. You don't live in a home the same way you sell it. Your home should be ready to show each and every day your home is on the market.
Also, remember that staging your home is not personal, it's business. We are trying to sell your home quicker and for money, and the suggestions we make have been proven to make your home more appealing to the majority of house hunters.
