Top Ten Reasons You Should
Professionally Stage Your Home
1. You Will Make More Money
The Wall Street Journal and the U.S. Housing and Urban Development both have reported that a staged home sells, on average, for 2% to 17% higher than a non-staged home. According to the Washington Center for Real Estate Research, Dec 2006, the average median price of a single family dwelling in Washington state was $300,900. If on average, a staged home commands a 2% to 17% higher price - that’s a possible $6,000 to $51,000 more for a staged home vs. a non-staged home.
2. Your House Will Sell Faster
The markets really changed in 2008! A recent national report by MSNBC stated that a home listed for sale without staging spent an average of 4.5 months on the market. Homes that were staged before being listed spent less than 1.5 months on the market.
3. A Staged Home =
A Well Maintained Home
A staged home conveys the message of a well cared for home and appears more move-in ready than a non-staged home.
4. Less Guesswork for the “Do It Yourself-er”
If you’re a “Do It Yourselfer”, a professional stager can provide you with a detailed report to assist you in your staging projects. We can also return back to the home prior to it going on the market or having an open house to assist in the finishing details of the staging (furniture placement, staging props, etc).
5. Only 10% of Home Buyers Can Visualize The Potential Of A Home
Buyers only know what they can see, not how it CAN be. You don’t want the positive features of your home left up to the buyer’s imagination. Real Estate Staging focuses on the positive aspects of the home and helps distract from the negatives in order to position a home to make emotional connections with potential buyers.That’s why staging a vacant home is critical!
6. Most Home Sellers Cannot View Their House Objectively
If you can’t see objectively, you can’t “package” effectively. Have a staging professional give you a detailed, step by step “Action Plan” for less than $500 so you can do the work yourself.
7. Realtors Love to Show their Clients Homes That Have Been Staged.
8. Staging + Good Marketing
= More Viewings!
A recent MarketWatch article suggested that 80% of home buyer’s search for properties on the internet in addition to working with a Realtor. The photographs of your staged rooms on the Realtor/MLS websites and printed marketing materials will really enhance your listing... which of course will place your home on the top of prospective buyer’s lists of homes to view and will really set you apart from the listing down the street.
9. Listing Your House In “AS IS” Condition
Will Only Help Sell The Competition!
Set your listing apart from the competition. The markets changed and the competition is stiff. With all the decorating and home shows on television, buyers really have an expectation when they walk through your door. And because Realtors can show professionally staged properties with confidence, they don’t hesitate to share your listing with their clients that are searching for their new home. Right now the number of homes for sale on the market is at a record high, competition is getting stiff
