A staged home ensures maximum online exposure, generating more interest from potential buyers, usually sells quickly and has a greater chance of receiving higher offers.
Not only does a staged home give you a competitive advantage when you put your home on the market, it is also a more cost-effective investment than having to drop your asking price if you are not getting many viewings or an offer.
Don't just take our word for it. According to a survey of estate agents for the 2021 Home Staging Association UK and Ireland report:
- 100% recommend staging properties to sell
- 100% said staging increases the number of viewings a property receives
- 100% found buyers spent more time viewing a staged property than an unstaged one
- 100% reported staged properties sell faster than unstaged ones - 67% said they sell up to twice as quickly, while 33% had seen staging lead to a sale over three times faster
- 100% said staged homes attracted a higher offer value than similar properties that had not been given a professional make-over. The most common uplift was 4%-6%, but 33% said offer prices were improved by as much as 11%-15%
- 100% agreed the best time to stage a property is at the outset of marketing
- Half said that between 76% and 100% of unsold properties removed from the market by the homeowner would have benefitted from home staging services
Staging your property to sell is the best investment you can make to help secure a buyer for your home.
