Does staging your home make a difference in sale value?

Staging a house can help it sell for more—and faster.

Highlights:

The National Association of Realtors surveyed their members & released the findings of their Profile of Home Staging.

• 62% of seller’s agents say that staging a home decreases the amount of time a home spends on the market.

• 50% of staged homes received a 1-10% increase in dollar-value offers from buyers.

• 77% of buyer’s agents said staging made it easier for buyers to visualize the home as their own.

• The top rooms to stage in order to appeal to more buyers are the living room, master bedroom, kitchen, and dining room.
