Why Stage a Home for Sale?
Staging a home for sale gives buyers the best first impression for that big impact and wow factor. Buyers have to remember all the homes they have seen after touring many. They will remember the staged home that had the wow factor and that evoked positive feelings of a warm inviting home that they can see themselves living in. These emotions stay in mind with buyers when making the decision on what home to buy.
We’d like to believe that buyers have fantastic vision and that they’d be able to envision what the home can be. But the truth is, buyers need a little help to see what the home could be like. Staging can show buyers the home’s potential without making them use their imagination.
Staging a Vacant Home for Sale
Vacant homes are especially important to stage. The main purpose of staging a vacant home is accentuating any architectural features of the home as well as allowing buyers to emotionally connect by giving them a vision of what the home can be like. Buyers are looking online at photos before seeing homes in person, so staging is done keeping photos in mind, placing the furniture to accentuate the architecture and not obstructing it. Each room is defined with the furniture so when the buyer is looking at photos online they know what room they are looking at.
Benefits of Staging a Home for Sale
Staging a home will help attract the widest range of possible buyers when it’s done in a neutral style that appeals to any type of buyer. This will bring the most showings possible, maximizing your sales price, and minimizing the days on market.
There are Three Main Benefits of Staging:
- YOUR HOME WILL SELL FASTER – the longer a home stays on the market, the further below list price it drops.*
- GET THE HIGHEST PRICE FOR YOUR HOME – homes that were professionally staged sold for on average for over 10% more than comparable, unstaged homes.**
- BUYERS WILL HAVE AN EMOTIONAL CONNECTION with the home making them more committed buyers.
