Home Staging Has Been Shown to Decrease Time on the Market

March 5, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

We probably talked about home staging many times before but did you know they can actually decrease the time your house it’s on the market? Did you know that 62% of sellers agents say that staging a home decreases the amount of time a home spends on the market? This is according to the National Association of Realtors.Home Staging Has Been Shown to Decrease Time on the Market

Real estate agents know how important it is for buyers to be able to picture themselves in a home. Staging re-creates a look, a setting, or an environment that’s appealing and warm to buyers. Of the report, 39% of Realtors say that it greatly decreases the time and 23% say it slightly decreases the time. Only 8% of Realtors say it has no impact. We know personally that staging a home prior to listing will get more buyers in the door, especially if they take great photos.

However, 30% of buyers agents so that staging positively affects a homes value if the home is decorated to the buyers taste. Of course, that’s almost impossible to regulate because everyone’s going to have a different taste and style.

It’s also important to note that vacant homes tend to sell a lot slower than a staged or even a lived in a home. Buyers want to see how the furniture can be placed in what different rooms are actually used for. By staging each room as it was meant to be, gives the buyer a good sense of what their own furnishings will look like in the home.

In addition to staging, listing agents will talk about home improvement projects that they recommend. Nearly all of them recommend decluttering the home first. 89% of listing agents recommend an entire home cleaning and 81% recommend carpet cleaning.

Other little tips include depersonalizing the home and removing any personal photos or collections. It’s also important to remove any pets during showings, make minor repairs, and eliminate all evidence of pets during a showing or an open house.

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
