"Appeal to Sellers Boston's Slumped Real Estate Market"
Home Staging Statistics Cited by DaVinci Designer Gallery, December 6, 2007 - (NewsBlaster.com)
Boston, MA, December 01, 2007 --(www.PR.com)--

At the monthly meeting of the Massachusetts Real Estate Club, held at the Peabody Marriott, members were engaged with a presentation given by designer/home stager Maureen Reddy of DaVinci Designer Gallery. "The more information a seller has on the positive statistics of staging, the more likely they are to invest in this necessary service" said Reddy.

The audience was made aware of sales records, staging benefits, before and after images, and the vital staging statistics below. The presentation included the following statistics:

1. Homes that are staged sell quicker and for more money than those that are not.
    
2. A buyer decides if the home will be a consideration within the first 8 seconds upon entering the property.
    
3. Homes staged by DaVinci Designer Gallery brought in between 400%-635% return on every staging dollar spent. (Report based on comparative evaluation where staging cost was under $4,000).
    
4. Staging generally costs less than the first price reduction (10,000 average reduction).

"Investing in home staging is more important now than ever before" explained Reddy, "you will certainly get a return on investment; whether it translates into a quicker sale or more money, you can't lose when staging your property."
