Is staging your home worth the expense & hassle? 🤔

Dear clients and friends,

If you’re planning to sell your home this spring, you might be wondering: Is home staging really worth the time and effort? It’s a question we get from a lot of sellers, especially in the early months of the year as they prepare to list. The short answer? Absolutely. And here’s why.

The Two Big Reasons to Stage Your Home

1. Faster Sale = More Leverage
   A staged home sells 73% faster than a non-staged home. The less time your home sits on the market, the more desirable it becomes. That means more buyers competing for your property, which gives you stronger negotiation power when offers start rolling in.
2. Higher Sales Price
   On average, staged homes sell for 1-5% more than their non-staged counterparts. If your home is listed at $300,000, a 5% increase means an extra $15,000 in your pocket. That’s a serious return on investment!

What’s the Next Step?

So, how much does staging cost? What should you do to make your home look its best? The answers vary depending on your home’s condition, layout, and target buyers.
