When it comes to selling houses, nothing is as important as how your spaces look. Professional home staging creates first impressions that impress. We’ve all heard the saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover” but when it comes to real estate (whether we care to admit it or not) visuals are everything.
Here are five reasons why you should stage your next home:
Staged Homes Sell Fast
When staged, homes look at their best and attract attention. This attention generally leads to more interest. Making your home look more special in the eyes of buyers. Well-staged homes give buyers an idea of how amazing their place could look like. By dressing up your home, you are giving customers a valuable experience. An experience far greater than your average house viewing. This automatically gives you a leg up on your competition and provides your home with more character. By dressing up your home, you are showing buyers why your home is so special and why it deserves to be swept off the market.
Staging Homes Adds Value to Your Property
Not only does a well-staged home help you sell quickly, but it also helps add value to your property. Home staging helps show your home in its best light. Making your home look sophisticated, modern valuable and expensive to buyers. This adds considerable value to your property and gives buyers an idea of just how amazing their next new home could look like. As we all know, real estate is a booming industry. Buildings tend to sell fast and at higher prices. By staging your home well, you can reap the rewards of selling your home fast and at a high price point.
Visualization
Most of us usually need help with visualization. A staged home helps buyers visualize themselves living in the house they are looking at. Whether if buyers are taking part in physical, digital or virtual home tours, it is of the utmost importance that your place gives off the right vibe to customers. For example, have you ever thought of why IKEA does so well?
Well, it is because their stores are built just like showrooms. Rather than simply purchasing in-store displayed products, customers actually mostly end up buying entire rooms – that’s all of the products shown in front of them. Why, you may ask? Well, it all comes down to visualization. Visualization allows buyers to envision themselves already living in spaces and IKEA does a great job of it. Home staging allows the imaginations of buyers to run wild. A well-staged home shows buyers what could be. By showing your home off in all of its grandeur, you are giving buyers a sense of what living inside their future home could feel like.
Staging Professionals Know How to Attract Buyers
Home stagers know customers. They know how they think, what they are searching for and how to sell different audiences. By hiring a stager, you are getting someone who knows how to appeal best to buyers. Every house is different. From the location, history, architecture, dimensions and countless other specifics… but it takes a good stager to know what certain buyers are searching for. By accentuating certain details of homes, a stager can decide what aspects they should feature, highlight, discuss and focus on. Moving a house from being average to WOW in a matter of hours.
Home Staging Creates a Buzz
Due to the sheer number of competition in the real estate industry, it is important to stand out. Home staging helps properties get noticed and listed faster. At the end of the day, you want your listing to be viewed ahead of others. When buyers are searching for houses, they typically create a top 20 or top 10 list of houses. With that being said, it is massively important that your listing can be found with ease. Allowing more of a chance for your home to be added to buyer lists. Leading to your home being sold quickly at a competitive price point.
