Why Stage in a HOT Seller’s Market?<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

It is true: this market is hot, hot, hot. With fewer
\nlistings and low interest rates, it seems to be a rather lucrative seller’s
\nmarket. Chances are that if a home is priced right, in a good location, and in
\nreasonably good condition, it will likely sell within the average time on the market.
\nIf you are selling your home, the most important consideration right now is
\ntiming. And, if have been thinking that now is the time to move, it may very
\nwell be in your favor to do so. However, the flip side is that buying a new home
\nmay cost you more. With the current pandemic reality, you may be less inclined
\nto make a move during an uncertain time. If you do decide to list your home,
\nyou and your Realtor\u00ae may be wondering whether staging should be included in
\nthe selling strategy.<\/p>\n

Professional staging associations, the National Real Estate
\nAssociation (NAR), as well as other Real Estate entities provide important
\nstatistics demonstrating how staging will have a positive influence on a sale,
\neither from a faster sale, a higher offer, or both. But how does this correlate
\nto the current market? Will staging make a big difference during this market
\ngiven the circumstances of its favorability toward sellers already?<\/p>\n

It is always crucial to put your best foot forward when
\nlisting a home. That means seeking the advice and expertise of a staging professional
\nwho knows and understands your market. Relying on your own beliefs about
\nstaging as a homeowner can have a negative influence and ultimately take away
\nfrom the listing’s potential. As Barb Swartz, the Creator of Home Staging says,
\n“The way you live in your home and the way you market it are two different
\nthings.” Professional, certified stagers are trained in providing the styling
\nand arrangement necessary to attract buyers, maximizing your home’s strengths
\nand minimizing its flaws. Their objective analysis can add tremendous value in
\nthe eyes of buyers, ultimately helping you receive higher offers, often at
\nasking price or above.<\/p>\n

In addition, you will likely be competing in the same price
\npoint as a number of other sellers. By investing in staging, your home is
\nlikely to stand out among the crowd with exceptional visual impact and a
\ncompelling reason to arrange a showing. More so than ever before, buyers are
\nshopping more intensely online, limiting showings to just a few at the very top
\nof the list, and making offers after the first showing. The old saying rings
\ntrue: You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Choosing to
\nfollow a professional stager’s advice or to have a vacant home staged may
\nincrease the opportunity for a quicker sale. Investors who stage know this –
\ntime on market matters. Faster sales lead to the next opportunity.<\/p>\n

Finally, you may want to think about the psychological
\nimpact of your home being on the market for an extended period of time during
\nthe current pandemic crisis. While the argument of a higher sale and at a
\nfaster price may not convince you, risking a market presentation without
\nprofessional staging will likely increase the stress you and your family may
\nhave in an already uncertain time. The investment in a professional staging
\nwill also be an investment in peace of mind and confidence in the likelihood
\nsuccessful sale.<\/p>\n

If you are considering selling, make sure that professional
\nstaging is a part of the strategy that you and your real estate agent have in
\nleveraging this seller’s market to your best advantage.<\/p>\n
