According To Lawrence Yun a Chief Economist with the National Association of Realtors, "A vacant home listed for sale always applies downward pressure on home prices. The opportunity cost of carrying a vacant home is high."

According to the U.S Census Bureau records, we have the highest number of vacants on record since 1956.

What does this mean for homesellers as we wrap up 2008 and look with hope to 2009?  It means that if you have a vacant home on the market, it is critical that you investigate staging your vacant home.  Design To Market Home Staging in Greater Cincinnati has been staging vacant homessince 2004.  We  have seen phenomenal success in homes ranging from just over $100,000 to homes as high as $2 million.  A complete warehouse of furniture and accessorieshas allowed us to meet the needs of our client's vacant home. 

The right professional stager is well armed to create the WOW! Factor in a vacant home that compells a prospective buyer to buy and at the same time to keep an eye to the budget restraints of home sellers.  In selecting a home stager make sure that you talk to your Realtor for referrals and look at the stagers website to evaluate the quality of their previous work. 

Design To Market has been staging homes in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky since 2004.  For more information about our Cincinnati  and Northern Kentucky home staging services please call us at 513-265-0952 or visit our website at www.designtomarketllc.com .

Jo: Another beautiful job. And yes, a staged vacant home looks so much more desireable than a vacant home. Empty and lonely vs. full of life.  And I'm jealous of that warehouse!

Thanks Michelle,

This was a great project.  It is a small home with a wonderful floor plan.  The rooms felt small when it was vacant and furniture really opened up the space.

I wish some of my clients would do this but it seems that people are afraid to spend any money.  I will definitely keep you in mind for the first one who will do this.

Thanks!

Thanks for the comments.  This was a fun project.  The rooms are small but with the additon of furniture they feel feels much larger.
