taging is an increasingly important component, not only in selling a home but also in attracting would-be buyers. Even with all of the commonly accepted advantages of staging, only about 1 in 3 sellers stage their home.
- The average increase in list-to-sell in staged homes: 1.07%
- The average cost of staging: $250
- Potential benefit based on a $200,000 home: $3150
The Internet is one of the main sources of information buyers use during the home search process, and staging is key to showing the home at its best online.
Rooms that sellers stage most often:
1. Living Room: 73%
2. Kitchen: 64%
3. Master Bedroom: 58%
4. Dining Room: 49%
5. Master Bath: 45%
6. All Rooms: 37%
7. Office: 16%
The cost of staging is minimal compared to the benefits: more showings and ultimately a higher percentage of asking price.
