Statistics prove that home staging works. According to a HomeGain survey a home seller that invests $400-$600 in home staging services will receive an average of 343% return on their investment and sell their home in less time.
Wikipedia defines it this way:
Home Staging is the act of preparing a private residence for sale in the real estate marketplace. The goal of staging is to make a home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers, thereby selling a property more swiftly and for more money. Staging techniques focus on improving a property's appeal by transforming it into a welcoming, attractive product that anyone might want.
Take a walk through your own home. Stand in the doorway of every room and look in.
This is a prospective buyer’s first impression of the room. Consider the following:
- How do you think a buyer will feel and think about this room? (Is it warm, cold, claustrophobic, messy, sterile?)
- Is the scale of the objects in the room in proportionate to one another? (Think, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, or a large couch with a small picture above it.)
- Will they be distracted by the contents? (What “pops” out at you?)
- Is the overall feeling “dark” or “light and bright”?
- Will buyers “profile” the homes OR sellers AGE, INTERESTS, TASTE and CLEANING or ORGANIZATION HABITS?(Old furnishings in a new home still makes the home appear dated)
If the answers to these questions were not positive, In2itive Design’s home staging consultant can show you ways to improve your selling experience by creating areas that make a buyer “FEEL GOOD” about your home. A properly staged home will sell in less time and for more money than a home that isn’t staged.
