The Power of Staging Your Home

Many seller's question whether the investment in staging is really worth it. There are so many costs associated with your listing your home. Why add another one? Well a recent study by The National Association of Realtors shows that home staging can make all the difference to potential buyers. Members were surveyed and the findings revealed that the investment does help. The results showed:

-50% of staged homes saw a 1-10% increase in dollar value offers from buyers.
-77% of buyer's agents said that staging made it easier for buyers to visualize the home as their own.
-40% of buyers were more willing to visit a home they saw online if it was staged.
This information was published in the Annual Profile of Home Staging. If you're trying to decide what rooms to focus on staging, top rooms included living room, dining room, kitchen, and master bedroom.
