If you're selling your home or just thinking about selling your Charlotte home this spring/summer have you wondered if staging your home pays off? Are you concerned that staging might be expensive and that you can't afford it?
Staging Your Home Pays Off!
According to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) Annual Profile of Home Staging:
- 50% of staged homes saw a 1-10% increase in dollar value offers from buyers.
- 77% of buyer’s agents said staging made it easier for buyers to visualize the home as their own.
- 40% of buyers were more willing tovisit a home they found on-line if it was staged
And that's without taking into account that staged homes typically sell more quickly saving you carrying costs. According to the Real Estate Staging Association, homes staged before going on the market sell 73% faster, on average, than their non-staged counterparts.
Staging Your Home On A Budget!
Obviously, not everyone has unlimited resources for staging their home. The good news is that you can stage on a budget! Here are some great ideas from Moshells.com on how to stage your home on a budget. Notice, that Moshells says every dollar you spend in staging your home can return $2 in increased sale price. That's a pretty good return no matter how you look at it!
Check out Moshell's 5 Golden Rules to staging, which include depersonalizing your home, decluttering and maximizing space in your home, sanitzing (CLEANING) your home, modernizing and neutralizing your home.
