Why stage your home for sale?

Why home staging is important – the benefits

Real Estate Institute of Western Australia (REIWA) October 2022 data indicated that the median Perth house price is hovering at approximately $540,000. Based on this median, a simple 1% difference in your property sales offer equates to $5,400 that you can potentially add or subtract from your earnings. 

HOW HOME STAGING WORKS

When the numbers are this substantial, it pays to get it right. That’s where home staging comes in. How does home staging work? Considered, well executed home staging and property styling draws buyers in and motivates them to offer more – making it well worth the investment. 

From ensuring your property stands out online to engaging buyers, here are a just a few reasons why home staging is important and why you should stage your home for sale. 

It makes your home stand out online

When shopping for a home, first impressions count – and for most home buyers, the first place they will see your property is online. Staging works best to stop the scroll and inspire buyers to click through to your listing. It brings the property spaces to life so potential buyers can easily imagine living there. 

It creates an emotional connection with buyers

Successful staging is about much more than fashionable furniture. Staging helps a buyer to emotionally connect with your home, from the moment they step through the front door. Importantly, once they picture themselves curling up on the couch or entertaining friends they are more motivated to make your home their own.

It motivates buyers to offer more

With the scene set, the buyer is hooked and starts playing out their future life in your property. The fear of missing out on the life they are imagining becomes very real. This feeling inspires buyers to offer top dollar to make your property their home. In our experience, this can lead to multiple offers and offers that are above sales expectations.

That’s why you should stage your home for sale. The benefits of a professionally staged home are simply worth it.
