If you haven't seen the new 2011 Home Gain survey here are the results:
Out of the Top 10 recommended improvements, STAGING is the No. 3 improvement home sellers should make when selling their home according to the national Home Gain Survey. The recommendations are based on ROI or return on investment for each improvement.
Staging returns almost 300% of a sellers investment. How is this return calculated? Increased sales price!
#1 Improvement is cleaning and de-cluttering
#2 Improvement is lightening and brightening
#3 Improvement is Staging
Actually most home staging incorporates those #1 and #2 improvements as well!
1. Whether or not you're living in your home, staging it for sale always includes cleaning and de-cluttering as the first important step.
2. When we stage a home, recommendations are made to lighten and brighten by re-painting, removing furniture and changing light fixtures and window treatments.
Hiring a professional home stager to help you with cleaning, lightening and staging will net you a whopping combined 1200% return on investment. Now that's a smart move!
