Sellers Guide: Why To Stage A Home

Sellers Guide: Reasons to Stage A Home

When it comes time to sell your home, how it looks will make all the difference. Staging a home can make a world of difference in appearance and perception of your home and as you’ll learn perception is incredibly important in at least getting potential buyers to consider your property. Let’s look deeper into why staging is so important with 5 areas to address.

First up, how your home looks online. Well over 90% of home searches take place on the internet. Staging makes your home more “attractive” when photographed. Homes potential buyers deem “unattractive” are the first ones they’ll drop from their must-see list. Staging will help create this attractiveness and build on the strengths of your home or help mitigate some possible takeaways.

Second, staging helps your home appear maintained. Regardless of reality, a well-staged and well-photographed home will give off the impression of being well maintained. Potential buyers do to want to worry about a list of issues after purchase. When potential buyers are looking at your home if it appears to be well maintained it can help sway them to purchase yours.

Third to consider is first and last impressions. Potential buyers decide within 90 seconds whether the house is worth seeing or not. Staging can push you into that must-see list. Staged homes also leave a lasting impression. Potential buyers will often remember how beautiful the home looked more than any negative aspects. Strong staging can deliver a strong first and last impression and help get your home sold.

Fourth is showings. Staged homes means more showings. Agents know that staged homes will show better to clients. This means that they are more likely to bring their buyers to staged homes more often than homes that are not staged. More viewings means a higher likelihood of getting the best value for your home.

Fifth, is that staged homes are easier for buyers. A staged home makes it easier for even the most unimaginative buyer to picture their life in the home and really see themselves living in the home. Consider this, fewer than 10% of buyers can actually visualize the potential of a home. Furniture enables the majority of buyers to have a frame of reference as to the size and scale of the home. It allows them to start picturing their belongings inside the home and how the living experience could work for them. This is a powerful tool in helping potential buyers consider your home and sway them to put an offer in.
