Staging: one of my favorite topics. Do read on.
It sets your home apart from the competition, helps buyer's to visualize themselves living there, and creates in them an emotional connection to your home. And when done correctly, Staging accentuates the strong features and minimizes those not-so-strong features.
Did you know that more than a quarter of Buyers are willing to overlook a property's faults if the home is staged? (NAR's 2021 Profile of Home Staging)
Yes, we're in a Seller's Market right now and properties are not sitting for long. So you may wonder, "Do I even need to stage?" The answer: "Yes, yes, and yes again."
When a market is hot, Buyers have a greater sense of urgency. This means they have to move quickly and are more easily swayed by first impressions and emotions. So use that FIRST opportunity to IMPRESS them! A staged home can attract multiple offers instantly after listing it.
The bottom line is, regardless of where the Market stands, staging is beneficial for all parties involved. It helps sellers and their Realtors® get the most money in a shorter time frame. It increases the buyer's confidence in the home by helping them feel great about their purchase. If you have any questions about Home Staging or if you're ready to stage YOUR home, I'd be happy to walk you through the process.
