Home staging is one of the top improvements a seller can make. When potential buyers enter your home, you want that “wow factor” to be present. A professional stager can make all the difference in your buyer’s first impression. Yet, many sellers want to forego this cost and stage their own home.
Reasons to Stage Your Home
Staged Homes Sell Faster
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Real Estate Staging Association studied “174 homes that had been on the market for an average of 156 days before homeowners hired a professional home stager. After staging, they sold an average of 42 days after re-listing.”
Appeal To More Buyers
You may have a flair for home decorating. However, you’re particular style may not entice a buyer with a different taste. Professional stagers know how to stage your home in a way that will attract buyers with a different taste than you might have.
Give Your Buyers A Visual
It’s been said that only 10% of home buyers see the potential in a home. With a home stager, nothing is left up to their imagination. As buyers walk in, they are drawn to the unique features of your home.
Buyers Are Online
Today, most buyers start online. They might begin with sites like Zillow or Trulia. Staged homes result in more attractive pictures; pictures that leave less to the imagination than homes that are empty or poorly represented.
Net A Higher Price
Typically, staged homes sell faster and at a higher sales price. For many sellers, this will be their number one reason to stage their home.
