Ranging from a no-nonsense declutter to a complete interior transformation, staging is top of mind for today’s seller. So if you’re thinking of selling (or know someone who is), here are a handful of staging stats from the 2021 Profile of Home Staging from the National Association of Realtors. I think they’ll prove why staging is almost a must in the summer 2021 market: 1. After staging, 23% of sellers’ agents reported an increase of 1-5% of the dollar value offered by buyers, in comparison to unstaged homes. ---- That's more cash in your pocket! 2. The average cost for a staging service was $1,500, compared to $300 when a sellers’ agent personally staged the home. ---- I can do this! 3. 82% of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home. ---- And that’s what you want! 4. Staging the living room was most important to buyers (46%), followed by the master bedroom (43%) and the kitchen (35%). ---- Focus staging efforts on the largest rooms! Here’s what else—staging doesn’t have to be costly or complicated!
