When it comes time to sell your home, whether
\nyou are upgrading, downsizing, or making a cross country move, you probably
\ndesire it sell quickly and for a higher price than you paid. Home Staging in
\nthe Houston market is a great way to help buyers picture themselves in your
\nhome and, if you are lucky, encourage quick, generous offers. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The National Association of Realtors completed
\na study in 2017 to pinpoint the advantages of home staging and to find just how
\nbeneficial it is to sellers. Some of the report’s findings include:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

●      
\n<\/span><\/span>38%<\/span><\/b> of sellers’ agents stage all<\/b> their sellers’ homes<\/b>
\nbefore putting them up for sale.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

●      
\n<\/span><\/span>29%<\/span><\/b> of sellers’ agents reported an increase of 1-5%<\/b> of the dollar value
\noffered by buyers in comparison to similar homes; 21%<\/b> of sellers’ agents reported an increase of 6-10%<\/b> of the dollar value offered by buyers in
\ncomparison to similar homes.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

●      
\n<\/span><\/span>39%<\/span><\/b> of sellers’ agents stated staging a home
\ngreatly decreases<\/b> the amount of time<\/b> the home is on the market.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

●      
\n<\/span><\/span>77%<\/span><\/b> of buyers’ agents said staging a home made
\nit easier<\/b> for a buyer to visualize<\/b> the property as a future home.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

●      
\n<\/span><\/span>Staging the living room<\/b> for buyers was found to be the most important<\/b>, followed by the master bedroom<\/b> and then the kitchen<\/b>.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Home Staging in Houston will make your house
\nmore attractive to buyers and can result in a great payoff in exchange for the
\ninitial investment sellers put into the project. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

How
\nExactly Does Home Staging Work?<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Home Staging is more than just cleaning,
\ndecluttering, and making other purely aesthetic changes to the bones of your
\nhouse. Home Staging requires expertise and access to quality furniture and
\naccessories that will appeal to a broad range of buyers who will view your
\nhome. The goal of the Home Stager in Houston is to set a mood that will
\ninfluence and evoke buyers emotions as they tour your home.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The cost of Home Staging depends on many
\ndifferent factors. If the home is vacant, a seller should expect to pay more
\nfor furniture rentals and upkeep. Not every room in your house must be staged.
\nThe living room, master bedroom and kitchen will have the greatest impact on
\nbuyers. Research shows that the average cost of Home Staging in Houston varies
\nfrom $500-$5000 depending on the square footage of the house and how aggressive
\nthe seller desires to be. Common costs associated with Home Staging include an
\ninitial consultation fee and monthly fee for each month your home is on the
\nmarket. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to less time on the market and
\nhigher selling price, there are several other benefits to staging your home:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

●      
\n<\/span><\/span>Standing out from competitors in
\nthe Houston market. Making your house look better than others for sale in your
\nneighborhood will grab a higher price, and may steer potential buys toward your
\nproperty instead of new construction. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

●      
\n<\/span><\/span>Staged homes are easier to market:
\n40% of buyers say that they are more willing to walk through a home they saw
\nonline if it is staged. Staged homes look better in pictures and will stand out
\nfrom other houses online or in newspapers.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

●      
\n<\/span><\/span>A ready-to-move-in home is
\nappealing to buyers. Staged homes make it easier for buyers to visualize
\nthemselves there. Staging reduces the need for a buyer to have an imagination
\nof how their lives will function in your space. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Can I
\nStage My Home Myself?<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course! But you must have the time and
\npatience to craft a unique look using your existing furniture that will appeal
\nto different types of buyers. If you already own quality furniture and have a
\nknack for interior design, staging your home yourself is a great option. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

If you are on a budget, another great option
\nis to seek out a professional stager who will stage you home with the furniture
\nyou already own at a reduced cost.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
