Home Staging and Selling Facts

Most buyers form an opinion about a home within the first 7 - 10 seconds of arriving.

Over 90% of buyers look at homes they've found on the Internet. It is critical that your home makes a strong first impression online. Staging will help you do just that. Sellers who spent $500 on staging recovered over
343% of the cost when they sold their home. (Homegain.com)

In controlled tests selling identical homes, professionally staged vs. those not staged, the nonstaged houses sold in 102 days, while the staged houses sold in 45 days. (Real Estate Staging Association)

It is estimated that only 10% of home buyers can visualize the potential of a home. That means 90% are not going to be able to look past dirt, clutter, and imperfections.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the average staging investment is between 1 and 3% of the home's asking price, which generates a return of 8-10%. That's a pretty good investment.

In a 2009 Home Gain Survey of over 2,000 Realtors, it was discovered that home staging typically provides a
586% return on investment.
