8 GREAT REASONS TO STAGE REAL ESTATE
12 01 20081. You Will Make More Money
U.S. Housing and Urban Development reports that a staged house sells, on average, for 17% more than a non-staged house.
2. Your House Will Sell Faster
The New York Village Voice reported that the average number of days on the market for a staged house was 13.9 versus 30.9 days for an un-staged house.
3. The Cost of Staging Doesn’t Cost A Dime…
In a 2006, a Home Gain Survey of over 2,000 Realtors discovered that sellers who spent up to $1,000 Staging their home recovered almost 200% of the cost in the sale of their home.
4. Most Home Sellers Cannot View Their House Objectively
If you can’t see objectively, you can’t “package” effectively. Having a staging professional give you a detailed, step by step consultation report is an effective advantage.
5. Only 10% of Homebuyers can Truly Visualize the Potential of a Home
Unbelievable, but exactly why staging is critical. You don’t want the benefits of a fantastic property left to the buyer’s imagination.
6. Studies Show that the more Days a Property is on the Market, the Lower Your Selling Price will be…
Don’t settle for less and lower your price…consider this: the costs associated with home staging are unlikely to exceed the first price reduction on a property.
7. Competitive Edge
A tastefully furnished, well maintained home creates an atmosphere of increased value in the mind of the buyer. The result is a quicker sale at a higher price. Quicker sales also reduce marketing expense.
8. Leaving Your House in “AS IS” Condition Will Help Sell the Competition and Attract Bargain-Shoppers
Right now in Austin, Texas, the number of homes for sale on the market is at a record high, competition is tough and buyers have more negotiating power now than they did a few months ago.
