STAGING PAYS OFF…

It’s SPRING and the home-buying season is going into full swing.  If you’re planning to list your home this year - it’s time to get going and there’s an important thing you should seriously consider - staging your home.  According to the recent National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), 2019 Profile of Home Staging,  83% of buyers' agents agree that staging your home makes “it easier for a buyers to visualize the property as a future home.”

Additionally, the NAR reported more than half of sellers say that staging your home will decrease the amount of time your home stays on the market.

Buying a home starts with a financial plan but choosing a home is an emotional decision.   When a buyer looks at a home, they will certainly be concerned with the condition of the home – is it updated, is the roof in good condition; but it’s equally, and possibly more important, that they feel comfortable in the home, that they   perceive it as a place to enjoy with family and friends, a place to retire to, or even a retreat from the stress of the city. 

How your home is presented to the public is important – it can make the difference between a sale and a walk away.  It can make the difference between a low offer and a high offer.  In total, 44% of buyers' agents noted that staged homes saw an average increase of 2.5% up to as high as 20% in the final selling price offered for a home.
