To Stage or Not to Stage…?

The general opinion among real estate professionals is overwhelmingly positive regarding the benefits of staging properties.

Here’s the key statistic:

• National Association of Realtors (NAR) research: Staged homes sell 73% faster and for 1-5% more than non-staged homes.

Key takeaways from real estate professionals:

• Staging helps buyers visualize: It makes it easier for potential buyers to imagine themselves living in the space.
• Highlights strengths and minimizes weaknesses: Staging can showcase the best features of a property while downplaying any imperfections.
• Creates a positive first impression: A well-staged home is more likely to attract attention and generate interest from potential buyers.
• Increases perceived value: Staging can make a property feel more luxurious and increase its perceived value in the eyes of buyers.

While staging can be a worthwhile investment, it’s important to:

• Choose the right staging approach: The level of staging will vary depending on the property’s condition and target market.
• Work with a professional stager: A professional stager can help you maximize your return on investment.
• Consider the costs: Staging can involve costs for furniture rental, décor, and professional staging services.
