Some home sellers think staging the home is a waste of time and money. However, this is not the case. In fact, studies continue to show staging a home offers overall value to the seller. It can seem counter-productive at first, but putting a little time and effort into staging your home can produce brilliant results!

Get the Attention of Potential Buyers

Once your home is staged, you can take photos of the inside and the outside. You can also create videos if you like. More than 90% of potential buyers look online for homes that fit what they are looking for. They search there first, then make plans to drive by and finally to go into homes that entice them. You can get the attention of potential buyers as soon as you put your home on the market, if you have successfully staged it.

Sell in Less Time

Your home is going to be appealing when it is well staged, and that means it will sell in less time. No matter what the economy looks like, there are always people trying to buy a home. The goal is to make sure yours is the one they will love! You don’t want your home to be on the market month after month, creating stress for yourself in the process.

Get a Better Offer

When a home sits on the market for a period of time, the seller often feels they need to drop the price to get an offer. This can reduce the profit they make from the transaction. Potential buyers become wary too of a home that has been on the market for a long time. They wonder what is wrong with it and why other people haven’t purchased it. This can prevent them from even looking at your home. A well-staged home however, can get you a better offer early on.

Pays for Itself

Since you can sell your home in less time and get more money for it, staging will actually pay for itself! The investment financially doesn’t have to be expensive, as the biggest element is your time. Either way, consider it as an investment and not an additional expense.
