WHY STAGE?

What if I were to tell you that the cost of professional home staging is typically much less than the first price reduction after a house has been on the market?

​

Let’s look at an Example:

• Using figures provided by one of the world’s largest furniture rental companies, we can imagine a very conservative first price reduction of 5% on a $225,000 house, which would equal $11,250. 

(This conservative assumption is supported by the National Association of Realtors which cites a 10% lower sales price associated with more than 24 weeks on the market.)

• The average cost of home staging in this example would be $4,700, and likely involves renting furniture.

• Using this figure, the cost of home staging would be less by $6,550, or 58% of the first price reduction of $11,250. That is $6,550 that could be added to your pocket.

Professional home staging helps sell the homes more quickly. Staged homes spend an average of 73% less time on the market; and who can put a price tag on the value of moving on to the next adventure of settling into your new home!
