Staging a Home to Sell | New Homes Market Center
The National Association of Realtors states that one of the most important factors in the sale of a house is its appearance. And according to research, the average increase in sales price for staged verses non-staged homes is 6.9% and 50% less time on the market (www.stagedhomes.com).
With that in mind, it is extremely important to properly stage your home for sale. Staging your home sets the scene throughout the house to create immediate buyer interest. It is like designing a stage for a play. Everything is in just the right place, perfectly arranged, and comfortably set.
Keep in mind, that the way you live in your home, and the way you market and sell your home are two different things. Home Staging is not simply decorating or cleaning up a home, but using psychology to make the home appeal to a wider range of buyers. That might include making rooms appear larger, shifting the room’s focus to help direct buyers to features that are important, or using light and color in ways that invoke certain emotions.
When done correctly, staging allows you to add perceived value to the home – enabling a faster sale at a higher price. Call a New Homes Specialist today to learn more about listing your home and how staging your home can improve its sell time and profit! (866) 897-3777.
