Good News for Agents and Home Sellers!

Home staging hadn't yet made it to North Idaho when I left real estate sales, and I only hope it is here now.

I remember dealing with homes that were so cluttered it was hard to see the floors - and of course they sat on the market for months and even years. Staging would have been a God-send for agents trying their best to move those homes.

Did you know that your first home price reduction will cost you thousands more than having your home professionally staged? When not properly staged, only 10% of home buyers can recognize your home's full potential, thus the other 90% move on.

Moreover, each week a property sits on the market, buyers tend to make lower offers. Can you afford not to stage? The biggest considerations when buying a home according to the Wall Street Journal is price, location and condition. You don't want to reduce your price, you can't change locations, therefore "condition" is the biggest variable in selling your home quickly and at optimal price.

Here is the good news: On average, professionally staged homes sell 50% faster than other comparable homes and for 6-10% higher in price. Vacant homes that previously sat on the market sold 85% faster once professionally staged. The 2010 Home Sale Maximizer Guide states that staging has a 586% return on investment and 82% of realtors recommend it to their clients. Can you afford not to professionally stage your greatest asset?! 

Staging is a relatively new art and professional technique to successfully market and sell your home faster and for top dollar. Because of this, 85% of realtors recommend that their clients professionally stage their home. According to The 2010 Home Sale Maximizer, staging will give you five times the return (586%) on your investment.

It is so true that staging makes a big difference on the price the seller gets on a home.

James - I would think you'd have LOTS of stagers in California!

Tim and Ronald - As I said, this is new since I left the business, but I know it has to make it far easier for a buyer to envision themselves in a home.

Our area is FULL of stagers; now it's common, which makes it less effective.
