The Value of Home StagingSince a typical home buyer decides if they are attracted to a home or not in the first 8 seconds of seeing it, Home Staging is a vital aspect of the marketing process. Simply put, Home Staging is the act of preparing a Newly Built Home or a Private residence prior to going up for sale in the real estate marketplace. The goal of staging is to sell a home quickly, and for the most money possible by attracting the highest amount of potential buyers. Staging focuses on improving a property to make it appeal to the largest number of buyers by transforming it into a welcoming, appealing, and attractive product for sale. Staging often raises the value of a property by way of reducing the home's flaws, depersonalizing, decluttering, cleaning, improving condition items, and landscaping. For vacant homes, rental furniture is often used to create a living space the buyer could "see" themselves in. Properly executed staging leads the eye to attractive features while minimizing flaws. Research has shown that home staging can reduce a listing's time on the market by half and could fetch as much as 10-15% more versus an empty home or a home not properly staged.
