The world of real estate can be highly nuanced. For example, we frequently field questions from sellers regarding the distinction between a decorated home and a staged home. Your home may be immaculate, but even if your home décor is worthy of a spread in Dwell magazine, it might not be optimal for the real estate market. Homes take on the personality of their owners, who adapt their properties to fit their lifestyle. While personal touches can create a feeling of warmth, research shows that these factors can make it more challenging for potential buyers to visualize their lives in the space, which ultimately decreases the property’s market value. Home staging specialists work to optimize the property for resale, allowing sellers a faster and more profitable transaction.
REPORTED BENEFITS OF HOME STAGING
According to a 2017 study conducted by National Association of REALTORS®, the benefits of home staging have been perceived by a vast margin of real estate professionals. The noted impacts of professional home staging include:
More Effective Showings: 77% of buyers reported it was easier to visualize a property as a future home after it was staged.
Time on Market: 62% of respondents claimed home staging reduced time on market.
Perceived Valued of Home: 47% respondent reported an increase of 1-10% in the dollar value of the home. None of the respondents noted any decrease in value following home staging.
