Top 10 Reasons To Stage Your House
If you're selling your home or investment house, take advantage of home staging trends. Here are ten key points about staged homes.
1. Staged Homes Sell in Less Time
Surveys on the effects of home staging show Staged homes can sell 30 to 50 percent faster. Last year, during the hot seller's market, The National Association of Realtors found that staged homes sold in 13.9 days as opposed to 31 for non-staged homes. Imagine what the effect will be during a buyer's market.
2. Staged Homes Sell for More Money
Homes that sit on the market usually get lower offers because home shoppers think that there's something wrong with the house and that the desperate home seller is an easy mark for a low offer. Research proves that staged homes sell for more. Statistics have indicated that Staged homes sold for an average of 6.9 to 10% over listing price.
3. Staged Exteriors Entice Viewing
When homes shoppers first pull up in front of a home for sale, they make up their minds in SECONDS whether to get out of their comfortable vehicle or drive on. A manicured front yard with staging additions like flowers in colorful pots near the front door and a bench to sit makes buyers want to see what's inside. Entice your buyers to come in, not drive on.
4. Staged Entryways Affect Buyer's Decision
Once they cross the threshold, home buyers know within 15 seconds whether they like the home or not. You must captivate your buyers right away with a setting staged for your target buyer. Entice your buyers to take a good look, not hurry through.
5. Staged Kitchens Sell Houses
Because the kitchen ranks paramount in home shoppers list of requirements, spend extra time staging the space. Remove all appliances on the counter and dress the space with flowers and bowls of fruit. Buyers pay a premium for kitchens that are ready to move in and not ready to work on.
6. Staged Homes Tell Buyers that Your Home Is Loved
Buyers desire a well-maintained home. Homes that show well speak to the buyers that you care enough to keep on routine maintenance.
7. Staged Homes Attract Agents
It's a fact that real estate agents love staged homes, too. Get agents to keep your home on the top of their "must show" list. Agents show staged homes even when they fall short or exceed the buyers wish list because savvy agents know buyers choose homes based on their emotions and not their "must have" lists.
8. Staged Homes Get More Advertising
Your agent and even other agents will want to show your home and they will advertise it more than an ordinary home just to get the phone ringing. Benefit from all the extra exposure at no extra cost to you.
9. Staged Homes Appraise for Top Dollar
Once you sell your home, you need the appraisal to come in high enough to cover your buyer's mortgage. Make sure you keep your home staged for the all important date--Appraisal Day. Too many home sales fall through just because the appraised value didn't meet the sales price.
10. Staged Homes Help Home Sellers Move
Besides selling your home, the act of staging helps you get rid of clutter, pare down your furnishings to the best--those worth moving, and gets you organized to move on to your next home, hopefully your "dream home!"
