What is staging exactly?
Staging is process of completely decluttering, cleaning, neutralizing and adding updated style & purpose to a space. The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) 2023 Profile of Home Staging said 81 percent of buyers’ agents surveyed found “staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home,” 48 percent of sellers’ agents said staging “decreased a property’s time on the market” and 20 percent of both buyers’ and sellers’ agents said staging “increased the dollar value offered by between 1 percent and 5 percent compared to similar homes on the market not staged.” Those are big numbers! Staging works, and your realtor should be able to help you do that or at least put you in contact with someone who is certified to pull it all together.
Your home should have rhythm and flow. There should be defining focus features. It should be well organized and always do a deep clean. Here are some must haves do’s to get your house ready for the market.
