Why Should You Stage Your Home?

According to a recent study from the National Association of Realtors, staged homes sell for 6.3% more money than unstaged homes and in half the time. A Buyer's market is a stager's market. The top seven items, in order, that Buyers look at first when viewing homes are curb appeal, the entry way, the kitchen, the Master bedroom and bath, Family room, secondary bedrooms and the backyard. A good formula for staging is to use plantings, paintings, pictures, fixtures and furnishings. If you follow this simple strategy and checklist, you are on the right path to successful staging.

This is so true, although everthing published says it's a buyer's market, I have found that the homes that are staged the best go fast, if it looks good and priced right you better make an offer, it won't last long! I don't think this point is stressed enough to our seller's.
