To Stage or Not To Stage???
A recent Maritz survey said that 63% of buyers will pay more for move-in ready homes
. A quick, affordable way for homeowners to make their homes appear move-in ready is through staging. The Real Estate Staging Association survey proved that professionally staged occupied homes sold 46% faster in 2007, and 89% faster in 2008, while staged vacant homes previously on the market sold 68% faster in 2007, and 85% faster in 2008. Staging is a cost-effective, quick and creativesolution thatallures buyers toyour property. Without leaving the interior space to the imagination, savvy staging canattract buyers that otherwise might not consider your property. Potential buyers have to be able to picture themselves in your home. Thats not always easy to do when you have your family photos and Aunt Gertrudes ornate table cloth displayed. Depersonalizing the space should be the first thing on your list. You also want to neutralize your color palette and arrange your furniture to maximize your space. By partnering with a professional Interior Designer, such as myself, you can increase the selling potential of your home with affordable and effective staging.
