The Many Benefits of Home Staging for Your Property Sale

If you’re thinking of putting your home on the market – or you have already done so – chances are that you would prefer a quick and lucrative sale to the right buyers. There are a few different ways to speed up the sale of a property, but our favorite here at Canaima Design has to be home staging!

This practice has been proven time and time again to attract more buyers, lead to faster sales, and even help you to get as much money possible out of the deal for your beloved home. Do we have your attention? Read on to discover the many benefits of home staging for your property sale...

What is Home Staging, Exactly?

Home staging goes far beyond simple de-cluttering and cleaning. The practice involves you or a professional planning the best way to show off your home to its full potential by using strategically chosen accessories, furniture, colors and styles to wow your prospective buyers. Making your house more attractive to these buyers is an essential part of marketing any property, and home staging is by far one of the most effective ways to achieve this. It does include an investment on your part, but any money you pay upfront will come back to you in the form of shorter marketing times and a higher sale price as well.

Ultimately, the point of staging your home will be to make it attractive to as many potential purchasers as possible. Your design professional will draw up a detailed plan as to how your home will be arranged, displayed and showcased to draw people in – and, if they are good at their craft, they will create an irreplaceable ambience in your home to allow buyers to visualize themselves living the good life therein!

The Benefits of Staging Your Home

The full range of advantages of home staging is hard to list! However, there are a number of key ways in which this strategic practice can help you successfully sell up as quickly as possible. First and foremost, staging allows potential buyers to visualize how the house would look with them residing in it, and what kind of lifestyle they could lead if they made the purchase. This allows them to form an emotional bond with the property, which will definitely boost their overall interest in making a deal.

Secondly, home staging also increases the value of your home itself. By making the initial investment and hiring a professional to refresh your abode, you could well reap the rewards by asking (and receiving) a higher sale price at the end of the day. And last but certainly not least, a staged home attracts 46% more prospective buyers to view it on average, and will also sell around 73% faster than those that have not been staged, according to the latest studies on the subject.

What Do the Realtors Say?

If we don’t have you convinced just yet, here are some statistics to prove the power of staging. The National Association of Realtors’ 2017 Profile of Home Staging details that a whopping 39% of sellers’ agents noted that home staging significantly decreased the time of properties on the market, while 77% of agents said that a staged home makes it easier for buyers to visualize the property as their future home.

Furthermore, 49% of agents claimed that staging has a notable effect on most buyers, making them more inclined to put in a good offer on a staged property. Other studies have even shown a strong link between home staging and increased sales prices, with one study by Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation showing that stages properties were able to be sold for around 6% more than the asking price on average!

Should You Stage Your Home Yourself?

Some people choose to stage their homes themselves, and if you have the time, the resources and the know-how to do so there is absolutely nothing to hold you back. However, the best results have always been achieved with the help of a good renovation and design professional – and of course, that is where our expert team at Canaima comes in!
