“…
Staging
your house can be the difference between its sitting or selling. So what is
“staging”? Small tweaks with paint, furniture placement and accessories that
make your house look as desirable as possible. A Coldwell Banker Real Estate
Corp. survey found that staged homes spent half the time on the market and sold
for more than 6% above the asking price.”
By LESLIE
PEPPER, Parade Magazine – May 2008
“….a
study showing professionally "staged" homes sold in 13.9 days, half the usual
time on the market -- and went for 6.3% over list price, or four times the
average markup on
unstaged homes.”
By JUNE
FLETCHER, The Wall Street Journal
“Staging speeds up sales in a sluggish
market, (it) can bump up prices 2% to 10% in a moderate market. The biggest
advantage occurs with luxury homes or in a market with bidding wars over
properties, where effective staging can boost prices by 20% to 50%.”
