Looking back over the years, having your home staged has virtually taken over the real estate market. What was an “extra” has now become commonplace to sell your home quickly and for more money. Often sellers are not sold on the idea until they tour other staged homes for sale or because their home is not getting offers.
If you worry that your home won’t look the same, well it won’t. But that’s a good thing! You want your home to be appealing to everyone. You want buyers to visualize their furniture and belongings in your home. Though we all know that we can’t control the market, how your home looks is one thing that is within our control.
According to Money Sense Magazine, “Research proves staging pays off. According to an American study conducted by the National Association of Realtors, 83% of agents agreed that staging made it easier for buyer clients to envision themselves in the home. Further, 22% reported an increase in offer values for staged homes, while 28% reported staged homes had fewer days on market.”
Here are some reasons why home staging is so useful:
- Furniture placement and better flow to the room
- Add pops of colour so your home doesn’t look boring
- Professional photographs are the first look for your home online
- Give each room a purpose
From our years of experience staging homes, this is what we have learned:
- No house is too small for home staging
- Vacant homes need staging to sell
