Even in a seller's market, real estate agents can't promise that your home will sell. It's important that your property stands out from the competition and that buyers fall in love with your property.
If your house is currently for sale or you're considering a move, Reverie's home staging services can help make your property more appealing to buyers, which can lead to a faster sale and a higher price.
Here are seven reasons why home staging is so important:
Helps buyers visualize: According to the National Association of REALTORS® 2021 Profile of Home Staging, 82% of buyers' agents said staging helped their clients visualize the property as their home. Staging can also show buyers how to use unique spaces like reading nooks, kid zones, and art areas.
Boosts appeal: Whether the property is occupied or vacant, staging makes a home look its best to attract more buyers and generate more interest. On-trend, engaging furnishings and accessories instantly engage the buyer, helps them visualize their furniture in the space, and creates a more spacious and inviting room.
Creates emotional connection: A staged home can feel warm, comfortable, and welcoming. Buyers are more likely to buy a home that inspires them emotionally and feels move-in ready. Creating an emotional connection with a potential buyer can increase their desire to purchase the property.
Shows off value: Staging minimizes the negatives and accentuates the positives of a property to increase perceived value. According to the Real Estate Staging Association, staging can help increase the sale price by up to 20% on average, and 73% of staged homes sell for over list price!
Faster sale: Staged homes sell faster than unstaged homes, which can be good for both the buyer and seller. Staging can help a home sell in days rather than weeks or months. A recent survey from the International Association of Home Staging Professionals shows that staging helps sell homes three to 30 times faster than the non-staged competition.
Buyers overlook repairs: Staging minimizes the negatives and accentuates the positives of a property, and according to NAR's data, more than a quarter of buyers are more willing to overlook property faults or needed repairs if a home is staged.
Quality photos: Also according to NAR's data, 99% of millennial home buyers start their search online, which is why it is so important to have quality online images. You only get one chance to make a first impression! Staging a photo-ready property can directly influence a buyer's decision to see the home in person and submit an offer.
