It is really amazing what a difference selling a home that has been properly Staged versus a home that has been left vacant or "as is." 

A recent study shows a staggering and dramatic gap in sales time between the two.

Here are the highlights:

  • 94.8% of Professionally Staged Homes sell, on average, in 37 days or less
  • Average time on market for homes that are not Properly staged is a staggering 182 days!
  • Data is based on a survey of 1,000 homes (55% vacant & 45% occupied) across Canada and the U.S. from November, 2008 to May, 2009
  • FACT - Home Staging Works! Sell your home faster and for top dollar by hiring a professional AND experienced Home Stager
  • We have been successfully Staging homes in the Tampa Bay Area since 2003.  We now offer financing options and accept credit cards.  Be sure you hire an experienced and reputable company when choosing to Stage your home for sale.

    We normally charge $200 for an initial consultation.  However, if you mention you read my blog on Active Rain we will offer the consultation for free through the end of July, 2009.  We are so confident in what we have to offer that we are sure you will decide Staging is the way to go.

    Good luck and Happy Selling!

    There's no question that home staging is effective.  It's a form of marketing, although not usually seen in that light.

    Hi Anne, Thanks for sharing the stats.  Would you mind telling me the source please? I'd like to maybe use them in my marketing materials but wouldn't be comfortable doing that unless I saw the original source.

    Happy staging!
