Benefits of Staging for Home Sellers

1. You Will Make More Money U.S. Housing and Urban Development reports a staged house sells on average, 17% higher than non-staged houses. 2. Your House Will Sell Faster = Less Headaches and Hassle The New York Village Voice reported the average number of days on market for a staged house was 13.9 vs. 30.9 if unstaged. 3. The Cost of Staging, Doesn’t Cost A Dime. In a 2003 HomeGain Survey of over 2000 Realtors it was discovered that sellers who spent up to $1000 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. 5. Less Guesswork and “Do It Yourself”. A professional home stager can manage your projects from start to finish OR give you a detailed report based on their extensive knowledge and training to have you “do it yourself”. 6. Only 10% of homebuyers can visualize the potential of a home That’s why staging a vacant home is critical! You don’t want the benefits of your beautiful home left up to the buyer’s imagination. 7. Studies show that the longer your home stays on the market the lower your selling price will be. Don’t settle for less and lower your price…have your house staged. 8. The Money You Make May Be TAX FREE! Take advantage of your tax-free capital gain by getting every dollar you can in the selling price of your home. 9. Leaving Your House in “AS IS” Condition Will Help Sell the Competition Right now the number of homes for sale on the market is at a record high, competition is getting stiff and buyers have an expectation when they walk through your door. 10.
