In the current seller’s market, it’s easy to be skeptical about spending money on staging. I mean, houses are selling like hotcakes, so why does staging even matter? But here me out, according to Realtor.com, the reported ROI for Home Staging services is 400%! I don’t know about you, but I’m not seeing a return like that with my other investments. And staged properties are selling within the first two weeks, so you’ll see that return sooner then later.

We staged a home in January 2022 that definitely exemplified how staging works, even in a seller’s market. The sellers initially questioned the value of staging, but were blown away by the response from potential buyers. The sellers received 27 offers on the property and went under contract within 4 days of listing. Can you even imagine the relief in selling your home so quickly??

Staging absolutely improves the buyers’ first impression of the property. Nearly all buyers today are starting their home search with online photos, and 83% of buyers state that online photos are the most important factor when determining which properties to visit. So it’s more important than ever to have quality listing photos. Check out some of the ‘before staging’ and ‘after staging’ photos of the staged property. Instead of showing blank and empty spaces, our staging is providing the potential buyers with an idea of how the rooms can be utilized and also gives them a reference point for what size furniture will work in the home.

So take the guesswork away from potential buyers and show them exactly how to use your beautiful property. Staging is an investment, but certainly one that pays off in spades. Don’t just assume that your house will sell in this crazy market and use professional stagers so that you can have your own selling success story! Learn more about our staging services here.
