Home Staging: Is it worth it?

Posted by Phil Boren on Friday, May 29th, 2009 at 4:04pm.

If you haven't heard of "home staging", chances are you will. Staging a home is a relatively simple concept that is based on the common-sense approach that a "lived-in" home shows better than a vacant one. Although it can be taken to the extreme and overplayed, there are some practical ways to stage your home in a very cost-effective way; the question is, it is worth it?

Staging a home allows potential buyers to see themselves there, to get a "warm, fuzzy" feeling about the home, making them remember that home more favorably than some others. Let's face it, if you're putting your home on the market today, it's going to be in a price war and a beauty contest. Addressing even minor staging issues in your home will help you win the contest and the war!

Our experience with staging is that, in many cases, it is critical to the homeowner putting their best foot forward. It does not have to be expensive, and even the smallest attention to detail can help your home sell for a bit more money, but perhaps more importantly in this market, can help it sell faster.

We provide a free staging consultation to our clients. For more information, please contact us.
