Staging for Real Estate Sale or Resale is becoming a widespread practice and is defintitely here to stay.
The term 'Staging' is fairly new to some regions & may be a little confusing. It the professional process of property presentation to help your home put its best foot forward! I have seen properties sell in 1 to 3 days after staging. 
The goal is to de-personalize & de-clutter, and set the stage  for the potential buyer in seeing themselves in the Living Spaces.

house: Sellers in a Hot Market - Putting Your Property Out Front - 12/03/07 04:40 PM
There is the tendency in a hot market to believe that the market is 'bullish' enough to get the sale through. That is the old thinking. Sure it likely will, but at what cost?
The cost will be the 'expected' lowering of the price. Why expect this negative phenomenon? Instead get proactive and expect faster profitable sale. 
It can be difficult for sellers to wrap their minds around the concept of spending a comparatively small amount on staging to set their property out front at the head of the pack to ensure quicker profitable sale. Instead of waiting out sale offers and sliding price.......

house: Staging The Market - Home Staging Kelowna - 11/15/07 01:18 PM
Realtors, Stagers and Home Sellers
Who is home staging for? First who it isn't directly for is the seller and I will explain. It isn't directly for the stager's or realtor's benefits either.
The direct benefit of staging should be focused on the buyer - your market. Who will be buying this home?  
Staging is not all created equal. Unfortunately a lot of what we're seeing in staging is the typical contemporary interior, lacking focus on the most important goal of staging. The purpose of staging a home for sale is to create appeal that allows the potential buyers to 'see' themselves in any given property.

house: Cycling - 'Fraiche Aire' - Black & White - 07/20/07 07:03 PM
Thanks Lola for your 'Black & White' update - http://activerain.com/blogsview/151924/RendezVous-in-Black-White It caused me to clarify for myself that we've gotten to a consciousness of environmental issues that can no longer be considered 'gray' at all, but in fact are clearly black & white.  
In response, I don't know the scientific terminology & understanding of the various particulates in the air as per tonnage of carbon, etc. The broad term pollution is what I know. I have begun to understand the grave concern for quality of life & affected earth cycles.
My personal concern has caused me to take personal measures. I am fortunate for many reasons to live in the downtown … (6 comments)

"I showed a vacant house this morning.  I was expecting to walk into an empty house and to my and the buyers surprise, this was a staged house.  WOW!  What a difference!  My buyers loved the house so much that they signed an offer in the house at the kitchen … (18 comments)

house: Home Staging Kelowna BC * Proven Profitability * Living Spaces - 06/13/07 02:09 PM
Staging for Real Estate Sale or Resale is not a new concept. The term 'Staging' is what is new & perhaps creates a little confusion. It is still the professional process it has always been, of presenting property at its best. I have seen properties sell in 1 to 3 days after staging. 
The goal is to de-personalize & de-clutter, aiding the potential buyer in seeing themselves in the 'Living Spaces'.
What is new is the growing recognition that Home Real Estate Staging puts your sale at the front of the pack in any market. Whether it is a hot market or slow, staging has statistically shown higher profitability … (0 comments)

house: Central Okanagan * Market Temperature * Living Spaces - 06/09/07 02:30 PM
 
Construction booms. Reaching a feverish pitch with a labour shortage, the provincial government is making agreements with other countries (ie: Jamaica) to bring in specialized labor - electricians, plumbers,etc.
A long period of provincial economic lows & the international exchange rate, supported & encouraged international investment interest creating some development flow in the nineties. The low Canadian dollar made it very appealing to BC's immediate neighbors Washington State & Alberta residents, as well as many internationals to invest in Okanagan recreational properties.
This is where I started staging in the nineties (decorating we called it then!) properties for developers' & internationals'  vacation & resort properties.
