Does Home Staging Really Work?

• Staged homes sell in 13.9 days vs. 30.89 unstaged.
  
• Staged homes often sell for 30 - 50% more than the list price
  
• A 2003 HomeGain Survey of 2,000 real estate agents nationwide found that moderately priced home improvements, ranging from $80-2,800, made in preparation for sale, actually yield the highest returns when a house is sold.
  
• By using Accredited Staging Professionals, like Stylish Transformations, you are entitled to list your home for sale on Stagedhomes.com. This site gets 2,000,000 hits a month!
