A staged home will sell, on average, 17% higher than an unstaged home. (US Housing and Urban Development)
Sellers who spent $500 on staging recovered over 343% of the cost when they sold their home.
In controlled tests selling identical homes professionally staged vs. those not staged, the unstaged houses sold in 102 days, the staged houses sold in 45 days!
It is estimated that only 10% of home buyers can visualize the potential of a home. (www.upstagingyourhomes.com/pdf/resa_staging_stats.pdf) -
