August 20, 2016 9:14 am
Staging your home is an important step in the home-selling process. Home staging may cost you more than initially planned, but here are some benefits of staging that will erase your doubts completely.
- Staged homes sell faster. Home staging depersonalizes your home. It gets rid of the clutter and gives buyers the impression of home that is clean and well taken care of. When furniture and décor are well placed, spaces and home features are highlighted, presenting the home in its best possible light.
- Increased profit. Whether you decide to stage the home by yourself or to hire a staging professional, staged homes are known to sell for more money. Home staging increases a home’s perceived value, which can drive its selling price higher than your asking price. According to a Home Gain survey conducted in 2007, practitioners were able to gain investment returns as much as 343%, all because they staged their homes effectively.
- Staged homes rise above the competition. A well-staged home has an edge compared to other homes for sale within your neighborhood or area. It adds an extra pizzazz to the property, allowing it to catch the attention of potential homebuyers and reel in offers.
- Staged homes allow buyers to envision themselves in your property. Well-staged homes, which are clutter-free and decorated in a simple, neutral, yet elegant manner, allow home buyers to imagine what it’s like to live in the home with their own furniture and knick-knacks. Effective visualization also enables buyers to see the flow of the home.
- Well-staged homes create a good and lasting first impression. The notion of a well-maintained home is very attractive to potential homebuyers. It also has the added advantage of making your home look great in photos – and most homebuyers these days will check out your home on the internet first before going to see it.
