why you should stage in a seller’s market
Hello My Friends!
Sellers often ask me if it’s really necessary to stage their property in a seller’s market? Well, let me ask you a question. Would you like to get the absolute most amount of money for your home or would you prefer to leave money on the table?
Here are 3 reasons why staging is crucial in any market conditions:
First impression is like love at first sight. Today, most buyers start their search for a new home online. Listings with images of beautifully staged homes attract more buyers resulting in booking more viewings.
2. We all buy things based on emotion - it’s scientifically proven behaviour. When buyers fall in love with their potential new home, they have already developed a strong emotional connection with it. Do you think they would fall in love with a cluttered space full of the homeowners’ family portraits and dated furniture? Well, you know the answer. NO! That’s why staged properties sell on average 8-10% higher than their “not staged competition”.
3. Staged properties show better during viewings and open houses. Why? Because professional staging enhances potential of your property. As a result, it will most likely get you multiple offers and sell in no time.
As you can see, the power of home staging is undeniable. Today home staging is a critical part of the real estate transaction that maximizes your selling price while increasing the speed of sale, regardless of the market conditions. Isn’t it amazing?
If you were sceptical about staging your property before reading this article, I hope I helped you to see all the benefits of staging so you could make the right decision before listing your property.
Until next time,
