Do you wonder if all the hype about staging your home is for real? Will it actually help sell your home fast and make you more money?
The answer to that is a resounding yes, and in order for you to do make the decision to stage your home, you need to understand how important staging really is and how it pertains to you. As a seller, your best plan of action is to be very proactive in the sale of your home.
Buyers are very savvy and expect more when they’re looking for a new home. They search listings online, spending a lot of time looking at pictures before making any appointments to actually see a home. Did you know that buyers only spend an average of five to six minutestouring your home once they step foot in the front door? If you’re like me, you want these few minutes to be as impressive as possible.
Home staging is all about preparing your home to be more marketable by emphasizing its best selling features. More people tour your home the first five to ten days that it is on the market than at any other time.
So, is home staging worth the money? Oh yes it is! I am confident that you can stage your home for anywhere between $1,000 and $3,000. Yes, you have to spend it upfront but the typical first time price reduction on most homes is 10%-20% of the asking price.
The money you spend staging your home to prepare it for sale will be far less than a price reduction. A staged home will make your home stand out above the competition and will guarantee that you get the most equity out of the home. And would you like to know the best part of all of this? You don’t need a professional to do any home staging. You can do it yourself with a good step by step guide.
