The competition is fierce in this real estate market. I cannot imagine that it is felt more, in this economy, than right here in Florida. If a property is not dressed for success it will sit on the market longer than it has to. More than ever, to stay alive, Realtors & sellers need Home Staging professionals to help sell for the highest market value and faster. I see, every day the positive affects of Home Staging Services.
2010 --- Nationally, Staged homes sell, on average in 34 days while non-staged homes are sitting on the market over 180 days. That is SIX MONTHS vs Staged properties that sell in just over ONE MONTH. Which sounds better Realtors? Six months of marketing, MLS fees, dealing with price reductions and more. In Tampa Bay Selling Edge Staged Homes are selling, on average in 42 days with 60% selling in under 60 days!
A wise seller invests in Home Staging up front and unloads the mortgage, power bill, water bill, maintenance and moves on ... The Investment in Home Staging is always less than your next price reduction ... absolutely true. It is a beauty contest out there, pain & simple --- beautiful, prepared homes sell --- the others sit.
I have heard many a seller say, "No I won't Stage, not now. I'll just wait & see what happens. I'll tell you what will happen, very little or nothing all resulting in more work, more time & more stress for the listing agent & seller. How long do you want to be on call & waiting for strangers to show up at your door to look at your home? It's stressful, the agony building the longer this goes on ... Stage and Sell OR don't Stage and Sit on the market.
SOLD IN THREE DAYS ...
