What is Home Staging and Why Do I Need It?
We’ve all looked through for sale listings and seen those homes that look perfectly put together in every way. The reason those homes look so lovely? Home staging.
Everyone who is trying to sell their home is looking to sell fast and for their asking price and one tool you have at your disposal to make that happen is home staging. Home staging is essentially hiring professionals to dress the interior of your home for photos and viewings to show the best use of your space with modern and professional interior design choices.
While home staging is not a necessity, especially when homes are selling fast, it can have its benefits even in a sellers market.
You Get Better Looking Photos
One of the big benefits of home staging is better looking photos. Your home, no matter how old, will look better when it is dressed to impress by a professional. When your home is staged it also shows the best use of each room and allows the prospective buyer to visualize themselves in the home.
Home staging can really open up a home and improve the look of the space itself in ways that you may never have imagined. A professional can look at your home and see its potential. You may have never thought, or never had the time, to take a step back and think about the best way to use a specific room to allow in the most light or open up the most space.
You Will Get More Interest
Better photos means your listing will get more interest. It’s hard to visualize a space from a computer or smartphone so when a home is dressed professionally it becomes that much easier for the prospective buyer. Not to mention the space will just look better in general and people always want what looks best!
It Can Increase Your Sale Price
Home staging has a direct connection to home sale prices. According to the National Association of Realtors, 25 percent of agents who represented buyers said that home staging increased offers by 5 percent with 12 percent of realtors saying it increased offers by up to 10 percent. That’s a lot!
Finding your next home can be stressful - but it doesn't have to be.
