Will Your Home Need Staging and Why?

When you list with us, our team will evaluate whether your home could benefit from staging or if minor adjustments would be more effective. We’ll guide you in decluttering and selecting pieces that best showcase your home. We’ll carefully evaluate whether your space feels too cluttered or if certain areas could be enhanced. Staging plays a crucial role in helping potential buyers envision themselves in the space, often leading to a quicker sale. This is why we frequently recommend staging. According to Architectural Digest, staged homes typically sell for 1% to 5% above the list price. The National Association of Realtors also notes that staging increases the likelihood of a sale, even in a buyer’s market, by emphasizing the property’s strengths and minimizing its weaknesses.

Physical vs. Virtual Staging: What Are the Options?

If we think your home could benefit from staging, you have two primary options: physical staging and virtual staging. With physical staging, our team brings decor to your home to highlight certain features such as the size of your kitchen island or the beautiful built-in cabinetry in the office, it also helps to create a lived-in feel, helping a buyer to invision their life in the home. This method is especially effective for sparsely decorated homes, making them appear warm and inviting.

Virtual staging is a powerful tool that our team expertly uses to enhance a property's photos. We create inviting and visually appealing spaces by digitally adding furniture, decor, and design elements to empty or unfurnished rooms. This technique is especially beneficial for vacant properties, helping buyers visualize the full potential of the space without physical staging. A key advantage is its versatility—styles can be easily tailored to match the target market’s preferences, showcasing various design aesthetics to attract a broader audience.  

Staging Stats and Facts

Research consistently shows that staged homes not only sell faster but also at a higher price. According to the National Association of Realtors, 48% of sellers’ agents observed that staging reduced the time a home spends on the market. Additionally, staged homes often attract more competitive offers, leading to a higher final sale price compared to non-staged properties. Virtual staging is particularly popular for its affordability and flexibility, while physical staging can create an immediate emotional connection for buyers who visit the home in person.

Ultimately, whether you choose physical or virtual staging, the goal is to make your home as appealing as possible to potential buyers. Understanding the options and benefits of each can help you make an informed decision that best suits your property and budget. We’re thrilled to provide these tailored staging services to enhance your home’s market appeal.
