Why Stage Your House?
Why stage your House? The answer is simple - your home will sell faster, and usually for more money. The house at 9 Kingsgate Court listed below sold for $70,000 more than the exact same model within the community! That it a pretty strong endorsement for staging!
According to the National Association of Realtors, 90% of buyers begin their home search on the Internet. Showcase your home on the Internet from day 1. Most buyers can't see the potential in a house, they need to be shown. (could you see the potential in the room in the photo below?) They need to see how your house is different from, and better than the competition. If your house is priced right and staged, you have a leg up on the competition because your home will look good and they can imagine themselves in this house. Add multiple photos and virtual tours on the local MLS and www.realtor.com and you are taking the first step to the successful sale of your house. Just take a look at our Before and After photos and you can see what we mean. For REALTOR.COM's "Field Guide to Preparing and Staging a House For Sale" Click HERE You will find a variety of articles on "General Tips", "Staging a Home", "Tips on Specific Areas of the House", eBooks and Other Resources and Books, Videos, Research Reports and More.
The longer your house is on the Market, typically the lower the price will be, so Staging before marketing your home makes sense. Also, the cost of staging is typically less than your first price reduction!
