Staging Helps Your Home Stand Out
Many home buyers start their searches online, which means the first impression they get of your home is the posted pictures of it. They say a picture's worth a thousand words, but in this case a picture can be worth thousands of dollars, if it entices people to come tour your home and put in an offer. If people don't like what they see online, there's a good chance they'll pass on seeing it in person. If there's more than one home for sale in your neighborhood staging can also help your home stand out from your neighbours'. This can be especially important if your home is older and going up against new construction.
Staging Maximizes the Space
Professional stagers know how to get the most out of every room. If your home is on the smaller side, staging can help potential buyers see the openness of your home instead of focusing on the small square footage. Staging can give every room a clear purpose, taking the guesswork out of things for buyers. A good stager will be able to walk through your home and create a flow that is beneficial to most potential home buyers. When buyers can see how the space is used, they're less likely to get hung up on a strange layout or a small floor plan, which increases their chances of buying.
Staging Can Lead to Higher Offers
The goal of staging your home is to get people interested in it. If a buyer falls in love with your home they'll likely be more willing to offer over asking price to make sure they get it.The correlation between staging and final selling price isn't entirely clear, but staged homes do create more buyer interest, which is more likely to result in higher offers than little interest is.
Staging Helps Homes Sell Faster
While there's some debate on whether or not staging actually ensures higher offers, numerous studies have shown that staging does sell homes faster. And the faster your home sells the sooner you get your money and the less money you're spending on mortgage and/or utilities payments for the home. A well staged home allows buyers to better visualize themselves in the space, and also makes them more likely to overlook small issues because they're already picturing themselves living there.
