Three Reasons You Need to Stage Your Home For Sale

Thinking about selling your home? I’ve got three reasons why you should stage it.

Any homeowners I work with know that I’m a huge proponent of home staging. Staging for sale takes the homeowners personality out of the house with the aim of creating a space that appeals to the widest range of home buyers.

And here are three reasons sellers need to stage their homes.

• 81% of agents working with buyers say staging helps their clients visualize living in a home. Sometimes it's hard for someone to mentally place furniture in a room, or to imagine themselves living in the home — good staging works on the psychology of the buyer and makes feel like they're at home. 
• 33% say staging boosts a home value. A well-staged home is warmer than a vacant property or one that extremely personalized with bold color choices, collections and knick-knacks, and an abundance of family photos. 
• 48% say that staged homes sell more quickly. Staged homes at the building block of a good marketing plan that attracts the highest and best offers. 

Staging is key to selling your home quickly and for the best price.

All these stats and more can be found in the National Association of Realtors 2023 Profile of Home Staging Report.
