Goodmorning I am here with a success story for you
Recently Bella Staging and Design staged a house in Salt Lake City, Utah. It sold 28 days after being staged!!!! In this market the average staged house is taking between 4-6 weeks for a home under $300,000 and 6 to 10 weeks above $300,000 to sell. There are alot of circumstances that helped the homeowner get an offer, one is staging, the other is price. I want to stress that staging does work, but also the home as to be priced right.
Daily I have homeowner tell me they want to price their home higher than the comps in the area. Bad idea in this market as you all know. This home is a great example of pricing and staging. The agent and homeowner priced it correctly and staged. The asking price was $219,900 and they sold it for $219,000. The cost to stage this vacant home was $1,800.00 for 3 months, that $600.00 a month to stage.
Serious buyers knew that any offer needed to be a serious offer. No low ball offer here. They also knew that there were other buyers seriously looking at it. The home was clean and updated and might of sold without staging, but a potential buyer would of been able to focus on the negative assests of this home. With staging Bethany Poole was able to minimize the negatives and accent the positives.
Bethany and I work closely together to help agents and homeowner get home sold!!!! This is just one great story that we want to share with are friends at Active Rain.
