The Power of Home Staging
- Published in Occupied Homes
With the explosive popularity of HGTV and decorating magazines, buyers are design savvy and very selective when it comes to buying their next home. They have high expectations and usually very little time or money to renovate their new home right away.
1Our research shows that 75% of buyers will shop until they find a modern, updated home which is move in ready. In addition, these buyers will pay more money for that property because the home reflects the lifestyle they aspire to have. Effective preparation and professional merchandising of a property showcases that aspriational lifestyle and in turn, justifies a home’s listing price to prospective buyers.
2Regardless of a home’s price point, if the home’s appearance is marred by clutter then buyers will move on. This is because 81% of buyers find it easier to visualize a property as their next home when it has been professionally staged.*
