What is home staging and how does it affect the sale of a home?
Most home sellers know
the importance of keeping
their house clean and
clutter free while it is on
the market, but sometimes, taking a
few extra steps can make all the difference.
It is often difficult to evaluate
your own home. That’s where a
REALTOR® can help. REALTORS® offer
tips, hints, thoughts, and ideas for
sprucing up, cleaning out, decorating,
staging, creating a great first impression,
and making a house appealing
to buyers.
A “house” becomes a “home” and
then a landing pad that holds all of
the stuff that we collect in our day
to day; year after year. Take a drive
across America and along with the
mountains and rivers, a big part of
the passing scenery is of self-storage
facilities. Because people love stuff
and often can’t part with it. Did you
know in America there are 50,000
self-storage facilities that’s more than
Dunkin Donuts, Subways, or McDonalds
combined. And that’s just for the
stuff we can’t fit inside our homes,
where there’s even more stuff piled in
closets, bedrooms, garages, and basements.
So what does that look like
when a seller is ready to go active on
the market? What do we know as an
industry when it comes to knowing
our “stuff”?
Home staging has emerged as a
powerful sales tool because it transforms
a “nice” home into a remarkably
desirable product. Mortgage-
NewsDaily.com indicated that most
professionally staged homes end up
bringing in about 3 percent more
than the anticipated price. This means
that a homeowner who dedicates
$3,000 to a home staging project, and
who sells their home for $500K, will
have earned $15,000 for their effort.
Clearly, this indicates that such a project
is well worth the expense. Not to
mention that 62 percent of sellers say
staging a home decreases the amount
of time their home is on the market.
The costs associated with a professional
home stager will vary widely
and can begin as low as $0-150 for a
consultation, and range well above
$6,000 for a massive undertaking.
Stagers may charge by the hour, while
others request a flat fee. The biggest
factors affecting cost are the size
and condition of the home as well as
the geographical area in which it is
located. When it comes to paying for
home staging, it is usually the seller
who pays before listing the home.
West Hawaii Association of Realtors
® member Kelly Shaw states,
“I have used Jackie Sun’s staging
services for several of my vacant listings.
She makes a house look like a
home by using inviting furniture and
accessories. I believe home staging
improves the marketability of my listings;
helping them to sell quicker and
at a higher price point. I strongly recommend
Jackie and will continue to
use her to make my listings sparkle.”
Sun is an affiliate of The West Hawaii
Association of Realtors® and can be
reached for consultations by emailing
suninbp@yahoo.com.
“Realtors® know how important
it is for buyers to be able to picture
themselves living in a home, and
staging a home makes that process
much easier for potential buyers,”
said 2017 NAR President William E.
Brown, Realtor®. “While all real estate
is local, and many factors play into
what a home is worth and how much
buyers are willing to pay for it, staging
can be the extra step sellers take
to help sell their home more quickly
and for a higher dollar value.”
The West Hawaii Association of
Realtors® (WHAR), represents over
700 members involved in all aspects
of the residential real estate industry.
