Is Home Staging required when selling a house?
Seller’s Perspective is wish to sell the house with best offer.
The buyer’s point of view is to buy a good house with a reasonable price.
We mainly talk about whether Home Staging is required when selling a house? Some sellers asked, can’t I just sell my empty house? Or some sellers asked can I just sell it like the current home furnishings?
I would like to share some data and information before you make the final decision.
First, let’s refer to some data. According to the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® report on 2023 Profile of Home Staging, Eighty-one percent of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.[1] Buyers were more willing to walk through a home they saw online (40 percent), and buyers’ agents identified that staging would positively impact the home value if the home was decorated to a buyer’s taste (34 percent)."

Next, what are the benefits/advantages of home staging?
1. Enhances First Impressions: Home Staging can help create a positive and memorable first impression on potential buyers. When a buyer visits a house? What is most important: First impressions matter most. How can you strengthen the buyer's first impression? One important thing is to de-personalize, that is to say, put away your personal belongings, photos, etc., so that the buyer feels that it is his home instead of looking at your home. This is very important. ! !
2. Highlight the potentials of home: By arranging furniture, adding decorations, and optimizing the layout, Home Staging allows buyers to imagine themselves living in this space. And shows the potential use and function of each room, making it easier for buyers to imagine how they will use the space. Increase buyer interest and engagement
3. Provide more professional home photos or videos: High-quality photos or videos are crucial in today's digital media age. Home Staging ensures a home looks beautiful in listing photos, making it more visually appealing and more appealing to online buyers. A well-lit, tastefully decorated room can attract more clicks and generate greater interest.
4. Attract more competitive offers.
5. Reduced time on the market: Homes with Home Staging typically sell faster. By presenting a property in its best shape, Home Staging can help create a sense of quality and attract serious buyers who are ready to buy.
