Home Staging: This is How to Sell Your Home Faster and for More Money
Home staging increases the value of your home to buyers and helps your home sell faster and for more money.
Once you list your home for sale, keeping it clean, bright and clutter-free is a given. But did you know that staging your home increases the value in the buyers’ eyes? It also helps you get a higher price for your home. It’s a proven fact. Sell your home faster and for more money with home staging.
What is Home Staging?
Home staging is more than thoroughly cleaning, hauling out clutter, fixing aesthetic issues and making your home bright with lots of light. Staging a home:
- helps prospective buyers visualize themselves in the home
- has an effect on the buyer’s view of the home
- makes an impact in several ways for the buyer
- helps buyers visualize the property as a future home
- makes prospective buyers more willing to walk through a home they saw online
How Much Does It Cost?
Home staging costs an average of $675. Some real estate agents include home staging as part of their services.
If you choose not to have the whole home staged, stage the living room. It’s the number one room to stage. Second is the kitchen. Ranking third, fourth and fifth are the master bedroom, dining room, and bathroom.
Is it Worth the Effort and Investment?
Buyers typically offer a 6 to 10 percent increase in the value of a staged home. The impact and the value home staging bring to both home buyers and sellers make it worth the effort and investment most definitely!
