Home staging is a surefire way to help prospective buyers visualize themselves in the space, sell a house faster and help boost the sale price of a home. In fact, though there are numerous factors that go into what a home is worth and what buyers are willing to pay for it, staging is an excellent tool that can give sellers an edge, according to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR).
In addition, while some home staging professionals believe staging a home can bump the sale price of a home as much as 6 to 20 percent.
Either way, it’s clear home staging helps sell a home for more money. Thus, if you’re putting your home on the market or you already listed it, then you should seriously consider staging.
