I'm often asked “Does house staging actually work?”

Hey guys, Lili here! And guess what...the answer is yes! ​

We’ve staged homes for realtors that have been on the market for over a year and after staging them some receive multiple offers, others are sold in the same day they’ve gone on the market, some have sold for as much as 20,000 over asking.

Real Estate Staging Association study conducted in Canada

According to this study homes that are staged before listing spend considerably less time on the market before garnering a sale, no matter what the price range!
Here are the results from that study:

Homes in excess of 1 Million

• Of a total of 82 homes in this category 62 were staged prior to entering the market and sold on average within 38 days.
• The remaining 13 homes, not staged, sat on the market an average of 97 days.

Home priced $500,000 & $999,999

• 139 staged homes in this group sold within 21 days on average.
• 24 non-staged homes took an average of 140 days to sell.
  

Homes priced $300,000 & $499,999

• 170 staged homes took an average of 22 days to sell.
• 25 homes not staged sold, on average, at 125 days.

What Real Estate Agents think about home Staging

In a recent study by the National Association of Realtors®  if it’s really worth it to stage your home? Undoubtly it is! Of all the surveyed realtors who work with buyers believe that staging usually has an effect on the buyer’s view of the home. Realtors on the buyers side that took part in the study believe that staging makes an impact in several ways:

• 81% said staging helps buyers visualize the property as a future home
• 46% said it makes prospective buyers more willing to walk through a home they saw online
• 45% said a home decorated to a buyer’s tastes positively impacts its value
• 10% said a home decorated against a buyer’s taste could negatively impact the home’s value.

Top producing realtors understand the importance of a home looking great in order to market it more effectively and to bring in offers quickly.
