Why you should stage your home, even in a seller’s market!

Staging sells! It’s true.

But in a seller’s market, you may be wondering why you need to make the investment to stage. The truth is – you don’t, if your goal is simply to sell. But if you want to sell for top dollar – and who doesn’t – you should absolutely still considering professional home staging!

We talked with our friends at INhance IT Home Staging, a full service, luxury home staging company who has been recognized by the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA), as one of the top staging firms in North America. And they shared the FACTS about staging!

What is staging?

Staging is a way for you to market your home that focuses on neutralizing the property to appeal to the widest range of buyers (think clearing rooms so buyers can envision themselves living there)! It advertises your home’s best features and reduces flaws. It keeps potential buyers at the property for longer, too, during a showing!

Why stage?

Staging is THE FASTEST WAY to sell your property for the HIGHEST PRICE! Statistics show that staged homes sell up to 86% faster than homes that are not staged. The return on investment (ROI) for staging is up to 586% – not a typo! For example, spending $2,000 on staging can result in a ROI of $11,720 – it is worth it! With nearly 100% of buyers looking online and choosing 7 homes to view in person, on average, it is absolutely critical that photos of your home stand out!
