Staging a Home Could Help Achieve a Higher Selling Price

Staging a house to sell creates the very best first impression possible by emphasizing the houses attributes and minimizing its defects. The goal of staging a house is to make it appear larger, brighter, and more inviting. If professionally done in the right style and décor for the type of home, staging provides an atmosphere that appeals to many buyers who are then able to visualize living there. Home stagers are experts at showcasing the positive aspects of a home while drawing attention away from any negative aspects of a home’s interior.

Professionally staged homes drive up the perceived value and sell faster than comparable non-staged homes. The 2012 Home Gain survey shows staging is one of the top home improvements sellers can make when selling. According to the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development, a staged home will sell, on average, at a 17% higher price than a home that is not staged. When you are selling your home, it needs to compete with every other home for sale. It is estimated that only 10% of home buyers can visualize the potential of a home. That means 90% are not going to be able to look past dirt, clutter, and imperfections. When you market your home to your buyer demographic, and appeal to their desire for a move in ready home that fits their lifestyle, you remove buyers’ objections and generate more offers.
