Staging is not a new concept it has been around since the early 90's but like everything it takes an idea to travel around awhile before everyone catches the concept.
HGTV was the wild fire for staging. They informed their viewers about this innovative concept of presenting the home completing ready to the future homeowners. No second guessing how the home will look. By de-cluttering, de-personalizing, reshaping the furniture to fit the home the buyer can see how the home will work for them.
Staging is not going to go away any time soon, so get on board and use it in your marketing efforts. we have had many homes sell one day after staging and yes in this market! Whether you stage the primary living spaces or use small staging concepts in limited areas you will have better responses from buyers and that will help you to get the sold sign posted!
One cost reduction is usually 5 times higher than the cost of staging a home and when you use home staging the odds are that you will not take a reduction....STAGE it you'll be glad you did!

Karel,
Right on! While agents and sellers complain that their houses aren't selling, most of them are NOT staged. Even in this market, those that show well and are priced right are selling. They think it is an expense when in fact it is an investment in the equity of their home!
