Benefits of home staging

Home staging comes with many benefits. For one, it can make it easier for potential buyers to envision themselves in the home. It provides a clean palette of sorts – one without clutter, personal photographs and other items that might turn off a buyer or make it hard to imagine themselves living on the property. A study shows, 77% of buyers say it's easier to visualize a staged property as a future home.

Staging also makes a home look more move-in-ready – meaning that it doesn't seem to need a lot of work or repair before a new buyer could move in. Seventy-one percent of buyers are looking for a move-in-ready home. Staging could help give that impression, which could be a nice advantage for you in successfully selling your home.

Finally, staging a home makes it easier to market. It looks better in listing photos (which can play a big role in today's home-shopping process), and it is also more eye-catching when shared on social media, printed on flyers and displayed in other visual marketing mediums. As a result, staged homes typically sell faster.
