What is home staging?
Home staging is the process of adding decor, rearranging furniture, and expertly dressing up your home to make it look stunning for listing photos and walkthroughs. Home staging is a marketing tactic that can make even the most dark, drab space feel bright, energetic, and homey.
The reason home staging is so important is that it can turn around a sale that otherwise wasn’t moving. It draws more buyers in from online listing photos and makes the home look like a space that Pottery Barn would feature in a catalog.
What does home staging entail?
If you are selling an empty home, in most cases you or your real estate agent will need to call in a professional home stager to bring in furniture and home decor to set up the space.
If you plan to live in your home during the selling process, most real estate agents recommend using your existing furniture and home decor to keep cost low.
Is home staging worth it?
Home staging is absolutely worth doing, and for a variety of reasons. According to the National Association of Realtors, 31% of buyers increased their offer on a home 1-5% because the home was staged. Seventy-seven percent of buyers felt more able to see themselves moving into a staged home, and 40% were more willing to get in the car and visit a staged online find.
