To Stage Or Not To Stage?
Home staging has changed the way properties are marketed and prepared for sale. Data consistently shows that properties that are staged (and staged well) sell for more and quicker than properties that are not staged.
Townsville has a number of professional home stagers which validates the need for staging in the market place. Many are booked well in advance so if you are an owner wanting to sell and want to have your home staged, plan ahead. Likewise, agents should be talking to home sellers early and making arrangements for quotes to ensure that staging is available, and the staging company can book the inventory for a particular home and a particular time.
Why stage a home?
It is true that in the right market and priced at the right price, a home will sell whether it is staged or not. However, staging presents the home in a way that appeals to buyers at an emotional level. They can visualise themselves in that kitchen or sitting by that pool. All of this leads to added appeal for the property and competition for it in the marketplace, which increases the price and speeds up the sales process.
Staging a home does not guarantee that it will achieve a particular outcome. As with most things in real estate, nothing in guaranteed, but it does stack the odds in the vendor’s favour.
Touching hearts and minds
One of the things we like to do at North Queensland Property Staging is to create “anchor points” through use of statement pieces. This is something different for when busy home-buyers-to-be have done the rounds of open homes for the umpteenth time they can recall your house that stood out among all the others. Talking about the homes they have visited they can say “that house with the funky lamp”, or that “house with that Galileo thermostat”. When people remember something, they get attached to it. When they are attached to it, they are more inclined to make an offer, an offer that is desirable to the vendor.
