The internet is flooded with information on the dos and don\u2019ts of home staging and why you need to have that throw pillow placed perfectly on your couch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some people jump at the chance to decorate and stage a home, some of us wonder about how effective this process actually is. Is it worth it to invest more time and money into the home you\u2019re trying to sell? The short answer is <strong>yes<\/strong>. There are 3 big reasons staging your home is worth it \u2014 and can even help increase your home\u2019s sale value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Benefits of Home Staging&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some first steps to take when putting your home on the market, including performing deep cleaning and decluttering, doing minor cosmetic upgrades, and repairing any obvious blemishes. Once these tasks are completed, it\u2019s time to think about investing in strategic staging to really wow the potential buyers who view your home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Staging Helps Your Home Stand Out&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as it is with any market, when there are bound to be many homes for sale in direct competition with yours, you have to find ways to set yours apart from everyone else\u2019s. So, let\u2019s say your neighbor is selling a house similar to the one you are selling. While you took the time to stage your home and give the buyers the feel of living there, your neighbor didn\u2019t. Instead, potential buyers walked into a cluttered and fully lived-in home. Or maybe the homeowners already moved out, and potential buyers had to tour a completely empty house. Either way, these are not the kind of impressions you want to leave.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Staging Helps Customers Visualize Themselves Living in Your Home<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everyone has the imagination to picture their furnishings in the home they\u2019re viewing. Staging allows customers to see how they could utilize the space for their own needs. In fact, 81% of buyers say home staging makes it easier to visualize the property as their future home. When you take the time to stage your home, you\u2019re taking the initiative to tap into potential buyers\u2019 emotions and make them feel like your home could become <em>their<\/em> home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Staging It Now, Sells It Faster<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another big reason you should consider putting in the time and money to stage your home is that staged homes sell faster in the housing market. A survey by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coldwellbanker.com\/\">Coldwell Banker<\/a> found that staged homes are on the market for half the time of non-staged homes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, the longer a home stays on the market, the further the price drops. So, not only will staging likely make the process less drawn out for you as the seller, but you\u2019ll also get more bang for your buck as your home potentially sells faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Staging Increases Perceived Value<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you market something, it\u2019s important to show what you\u2019re selling in the best possible light \u2014 selling your home is no different. You want to highlight its best features while drawing attention away from the potential eyesores. Does this help to increase the perceived value of your home? Yes! A study from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/\">National Association of REALTORS<\/a> found that buyers are willing to spend 1% to 5% more of the dollar value on a staged home than a non-staged home. Staging is not thought to negatively affect the sale price, so you have nothing to lose by making this investment but so much to gain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set the Stage Well for Your Home Sale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, is staging your home worth all the time and money? Well, at <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenrulerealestate.com\/staging\/\">Golden Rule Real Estate and Property Management<\/a>, we believe that if you want to sell your home quickly, potentially increase the value, and stand out in the Gainesville, Florida housing market competition, the answer is an absolute <strong>yes<\/strong>!
