It’s definitely not necessary to stage a home before selling. But it does help. Just look at these statistics and then you can decide if it’s worth it or not!
Before I jump into the stats below, let me tell you about a recent staged property we just sold, 705 King St. The exact same unit had sold two weeks prior but it was unstaged and poorly presented. Our professionally staged and styled suite was the exact same as the unstaged unit from two weeks ago sold for $15,000 more and 12 times faster. That’s the power of staging! Beyond the dollar value, this meant the homeowners were only accommodating showings for a few days rather than an entire month — a difference you notice when you’re trying to live and/or work in a perfect show home.
