Top reasons for staging your home:
1.
Staged
houses sell at a higher price.
According to the
National Association of Realtors the average investment for staging is between
1 to 3 percent of the home's asking price generating on average a return of 8 to 10 percent.
2. Your home
will sell faster.
A survey conducted
by the National Association of Realtors found that the longer a house stays on
the market, the lower its price drops.
Selling your home faster also has a psychological factor for you and your
family as you will be less stressed out about this life changing move.
3. The cost of
staging does not cost you a dime.
In a 2009 Home Gain
Study conducted with over 2000 realtors showed that home staging typically
provides a 586% return on investment.
4.
For
most home owners it is hard to view their homes objectively.
Your home is your
product that you want to make most desirable to your clients, the home buyer.
Like in every other business you want to make sure that the package looks and feels to attracts buyers. If
you cannot view your home objectively you cannot package it in a way that it is
attracting the largest amount of possible buyers. This is where professional
home stagers bring in their expertise to help you with the
"packaging" of your home. You want buyers to think "This is the
one!".
5. Your online
photos will stand out compared to your competition (other home sellers).
More than 85% of
home buyers search for homes online first before they decide to visit a home.
Your online pictures function as a commercial for you. If your pictures are
attractive you will attract more traffic to your home. Redesign Your Space
can take professional looking pictures of your staged rooms and make them
available to you and your realtor to put them into your online listing.
6.
Only
about 10% of home buyers can visualize the potential of a home.
This is a reason by
itself. Home staging accentuates the features of a home, so it is not just up
to the buyers' ability to imagine how it could, should, or would look if... We make it easy
for the buyer to be able to imagine the potential of your home.
7. Buyers want
a "move in ready" home they can fall in love with.
With professional
staging of your home the home buyers will feel that this is a home they can
move into right away without doing additional or only very little additional
work. This will also then be reflected in their willingness to spend more money
on the house rather than them having to do the work to get it "move in
ready".
8.
Leaving
your home in an "as is" condition will make it easier for the
competition to sell their home.
The number of
houses for sale exceed the number of buyers, which means the competition for
selling your house is tough and buyers have high expectations from buyers.
Successful agents and home buyers know that the key to success is to
professional stage your home.
