The softening Real Estate market in New York is increasing homeowner demands for tools to help bring a profit in the sale of their homes. Home Staging has become one such tool. By properly cleaning, decluttering and preparing a house before it is listed on the market, homeowners have a better chance of selling their home at or above list price.
In a 2004-2006 study conducted by Stagedhomes.com, 300 homes that had spent an average of 163.7 days on the market, were Staged by Accredited Staging Professionals (ASPsTM), re-listed and sold in an average of 13.7 days. Homes that were Staged before being listed, sold in an average of 8.9 days. Of the same 300 homes, those that were Staged after spending time on the market, had an average equity of $14,074. That's compared to homes that were Staged prior to being listed, which saw a 5.8% increase for an average equity of $16,784. On average, Staged homes sold 50% faster and for 6.9% more money than homes that are not Staged.
