Real Staging Report

Your money-making Guide to a Market-Ready Home

Preparing a house to show at its best, to sell for the best price in the shortest possible time, is known as home staging.

National Association of Realtors research shows, staged homes sell at an average of 17% more than unstaged homes and spend 83% less time on the market, and 81% of buyers find it easier to see a staged listing as a future home.

Real Estate Staging Association data shows staged properties sell 87% faster. In its 2019 study of 13,000 staged homes, the Real Estate Staging Association found homes which are staged before they go on the market sell 73% faster, on average, than homes that are not staged before they are listed. Furthermore, Real Estate Staging Association findings show that 85% of staged homes sell for more than the asking price.

Home improvement website Homegain.com, in its most recent survey, finds staging brings a 586% return on investment.

Less is more. Ultimately, successful sales cleaning, like all steps of successful home staging, empowers potential buyers to see themselves in their future home. Windows are a great place to start. Clean them thoroughly and remove any window treatments that diminish them. Doors are important. Sparkling clean knobs on entry doors and interior doors are pleasant to the touch.

Arrange furniture to draw the eye toward a feature you would like to showcase. Does your home have a lovely kitchen, large bathrooms, an open floor plan? Turn on all the lights, using the brightest light bulbs you can find.
