What is Home Staging?

Staging means preparing a home for sale to appeal to the largest number of buyers, increasing the chances of selling quickly and for a higher price. As a seller, you can stage your own home, have your Realtor® help you stage it, or hire a professional home stager. A new twist on home staging is “virtual” staging, which means that photos of a home are digitally enhanced to demonstrate the possibilities of the space. Staged homes on average sell for 5% more compared to homes that don’t do home staging according to a survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors.

THE BENEFITS OF HOME STAGING

Faster Sale, Higher Price.

When potential buyers can picture themselves living in the home, they will be more motivated to make a competitive offer. Depersonalizing the home of family photos and other such items helps buyers see the space as “theirs.” Talented stagers and real estate agents can guide you to help make the home appear and feel more expensive.

Swipe Right

Photographs of a staged home are more likely to attract interest online. Since most homebuyers these days start their home hunt online, it’s important to make a good impression through photos.

Picture It!

When potential buyers view a listing, they’re thinking beyond what their eyes are showing them. They’re visualizing themselves living in the space. Is the home an ideal place for growing children, or to enjoy retirement? A home stager will take an objective approach to decluttering and decorating, allowing prospective purchasers to view the space as theirs.
