Did you know, home staging is on the list of one of the top 3 things to consider when selling your home.
Why? you might ask. There is logic in the reason it’s there.
I know so many people who have paid on a lot of money to sell their home, but it remains on the market for months. This is where home staging can help.
You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression, typically is only takes buyers 15 seconds to make a decision on whether they would like to buy your property or not. Why leave that first impression to chance? When you could choose to home stage and and ensure a perfect first impression.
A staged home will sell for 17% more on average than a non-staged home and 95% of staged homes sell in 11 days or less. That’s 87% faster than non-staged homes. This is because visually your home automatically appears more appealing, potential buyers looking around will want to live there.
If you include home staging, early on as part of the initial selling cost it can save you hundreds if not thousands of pounds. Your home will sell much faster and, in the end, will cost you no more. It’s a no brainer really. Not only that, according to data in 2020 from the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA), 85% of staged homes fetched offered of between 5% and 23% OVER the list price based. So, by choosing to home stage, you are adding value to your home.
By home staging, it can actually help buyers visualise themselves living in the space. Taking the clutter and personal touch we all leave on our homes away, helps to free the mind of the visual negatives and means buyers can visualise how they would see their future home. If you have an empty room, it can actually make the room appear smaller than it is, the same if you have a room full of personal belongings. By adding in our home staged items and clearing away the personal belongings, it makes everything feel cleaner, neater and shows off the potential.
Selling a home today can be tough, there are so many expectations out there as to how the ‘perfect home’ should look and buyers have become more particular. With how widely social media is used in our day to day lives, with hundreds of photos being shared of glimpses of the perfect homes, expectations are higher than ever. Buyers don’t take in to account that these photos are a snapshot in time, and in reality this isn’t how the average household looks, they want to see that perfection when viewing a house.
I work hard to ensure homes appeals to as many viewers as possible by highlighting its best features. I do this by presenting properties at their best through lighting, decorating and furniture. Staging adds to the home, by making the home feel larger, brighter and cleaner, it can essentially erase any negatives in a home and distract buyers from any imperfections it may have. A better-looking property will attract a larger number of buyers.
Don’t take any chances when selling your home. Organise home staging and guarantee a faster sell.
