Boston’s Home Staging Statistics prove “Necessity not Luxury”
Today’s seller is in need of home staging now more than ever before. Stiff competition, hundreds of days on market, and savvy buyers make it necessary that a property show it’s absolute best. Yet, sellers are reluctant to make the dollar investment in staging because they feel they will not recoup these staging costs and believe they are already losing money by selling at this time. Nothing could be further from the truth. The well-informed and sophisticated seller and agent know that the statistics speak for themselves:
- Homes that are staged sell quicker and for more money than those that are not.
- A buyer decides if the home will be a consideration within the first 8 seconds upon entering the property.
- Staging, in most cases, costs less than the property’s first price reduction ($10,000 average reduction).
- Homes staged by DaVinci Designer Gallery recoup an average of 325% return on every staging dollar spent. (Report based on comparative evaluations where staging costs were under $4,000)
Selling 1.0.1. states that a product must be packaged in the most appealing way possible in order to entice the consumer and make the sale…staging does just that, it has become a necessary tool in the business of selling property
