The Art of Home Staging for a Captivating First Impression.
I’m often asked what is the point of staging if the home will likely go into contract the weekend it becomes active. While that is a fair question, it’s a complex answer.. here we go:
– You want a buyer to emotionally connect with your home. The less ‘work’ a home looks to be, the more attractive it is to a potential buyer and they can start to visualize their belongings and life in the space.
– Creating a memorable impression. After touring 5 homes on any given day, you want yours to stand out in their mind and be the one they would be willing to bid over ask price.
– You might have multiple offers, but are they the most you could get? A well staged home increases the perceived value and can, again, increase the amount a buyer is willing to spend to have a turn-key property.
– Spatial clarity. Having couches, beds, tables in a space help the buyer determine if their belongings will fit into the home.

*With an average investment of 1% of the sale price into staging, about 75% of sellers saw an ROI of 5% to 15% over asking price, according to data from the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA).
*For sellers who decide not to stage, the IAHSP survey also shows that the average price reduction on a home was five to 20 times more than what the staging investment would have been.
