Deciding to stage may be one of the most important considerations homeowners will make when considering selling their home. As tempting as it is to sell “as is,” statistics show that staged homes fare better in the marketplace than similar un-staged homes. Staging will give the seller a competitive edge, and the cost of staging is small when compared to the return it will bring (estimated at 10x ROI)… and it’s always less than a price reduction!
As we know, a home that sits on the market over time loses appeal and costs money. Staging is a proven marketing tool that will work for any home regardless of size, style or location. The staging professionals at Elements of Design, Inc. will transform the home into a showcase that highlights its best qualities and positions it for the fastest sale at the highest price possible.
Will Staging REALLY Affect the Sale? Says Who?
Statistics nationwide attest to the value of Staging…
“The average Staged home is selling at 7 days versus 87 to 107 for an un-staged home.” – Linda Stern, Ask the Pro, Newsweek, April 23, 2007
”When getting ready to sell a home, investing a little money into sprucing it up can result in big dividends in the final price tag. In general, Home Staging could increase the final sale price by 5 – 20%.” – Barbara Corcoran, Good Morning America’s contributor and founder of the Corcoran Group, Good Morning America, ABC, May 2, 2006
”Sellers should not look at Staging by seeing how much it will cost but how much it could make…” – Keith Rockmail, How Staging a Home Helps to Sell it for More, Christian Science Monitor, March 13, 2006
Why Does Staging Work?
Real Estate professionals know that the decision to buy a home is an emotional decision. When prospective buyers feel an emotional bond and the first impression is favorable, the buyers are much more likely to move forward with purchase of the home.
A Staged home suggests that the home has been well looked after. It brings attention to the property’s best architectural features and shifts attention from any minor imperfections. Elements of Design’s creative team is skilled in creating a welcoming, attractive space, which reflects a sumptuous lifestyle, sure to attract multiple offers.
