3 Critical Reasons to Stage Your Home When Selling

Home staging is no doubt a crucial step in the home-selling process. It involves arranging furniture, decor, and other items to showcase the home's best features and create a welcoming atmosphere for potential buyers.

But many home sellers wonder if staging a home makes a big enough difference to justify the cost. If this is you, I’ve got some important stats for you!

On average, staging your home for sale can bring in an 8-10% return on investment, and a 1-10% increase in sale price, depending on market conditions and the quality of staging.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), a staged home spends an average of 73% less time on the market than a non-staged home. 

From a buyer’s perspective, staging allows them to visualize a home as their own. And when they see a well-staged home, they often perceive it as more valuable and are willing to pay a higher price.

While staging can feel like a pesky expense, it nearly always pays off in the long run. Staging your home can highlight its best features, demonstrate its potential, and create an emotional connection with buyers. A well-staged home will typically sell faster and for a higher price. 

I highly recommend staging your home to maximize its potential and increase your chances of a successful sale!
