According to the 2019 NAR report, sellers see about a 5% return on their investment nationwide. Staged homes have been proven to sell anywhere between 1-17% more than an unstaged home. This could be a difference of a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. Sellers who forgo staging can end up leaving a lot of money on the table.
The process of searching for a home almost always starts with online shopping. This increases the need for staged photos. Great photos can determine whether or not a future buyer will even visit your home.
Staging transforms homes and makes them look brand new. It has a big impact on how buyers see your home. The goals of staging are to make the home appear move-in ready and help buyers visualize themselves living in it.
Proper staging can make the home feel larger. On the other end of the spectrum, having too many pieces or oversized furniture can make the rooms feel cramped. Staging can turn a room that appears “too small” to “cozy” in a buyer’s mind.
U.S. Housing and Urban Development reports the average number of days an un-staged home is on the market is 160 days, versus 31 days for a staged home.
Staging highlights some of the home’s best features and demonstrates the home’s potential to buyers.
