Selling a house today is quite different than it used to be years ago. Today’s home buyers are extremely savvy about what they want in
their next home. Marketing a home takes more consideration, time and work.
Focusing on the appearance, how a home is presented will contribute to the
success of a sale.
81% of home buyers reported staging makes it easier to
visualize the property as a future home, reports the National Association of
Realtors 2015 Profile of Home Staging. A staged home ‘invites’ the buyer see
the potential rather than develop negative objections.
Top five reasons to stage a home:
1.
Buyer’s looking on-line make their decision to
view the home in person within 8 seconds.
2.
Staging a home creates a vision of how a buyer
aspires to live in your home, not showcasing the actual day-to-day existence.
3.
Buyers focus on positive reinforcement throughout
the home rather than negative to consider if it meets their needs.
4.
Buyers will re-prioritize their list, when a
house feels like home they can live in.
5.
Leaving a home in “as-is” condition will only
help sell the competition. Buyers look for homes with updated fixtures and
appliances, and décor.
Staged homes on the average earn more money than a home that
hasn’t been staged. A professional Home Stager is trained to know what
buyer’s look for and how to get a home sold quickly. Taking the extra steps to
prepare a home for sale is the difference between a quick sale or a long-term listing
with price reductions.
