Home Staging

Like pre-listing home inspections, home staging is becoming better understood and encouraged by Realtors for properties that are somewhat "lacking".

Shows like HGTV's "The Stagers" have really helped consumers see exactly what a professional Home Stager can do for certain properties. Some of the before and after pictures are amazing.

Statistics from 2005 show hiring a Home Stager can reduce a listing's time on the market by one-third and can increase the selling price by 10-15%.

I doubt those statistics still hold in the present market. Though I suspect a professional home staging will still have a positive impact on the selling price of most properties. At minimum, the cost of staging will be recovered when the property sells. I don't see how it could hurt.

  1. Home inspections is needed to make sure that your home is in good order. And it is all easier to sell your house when you did an home inspection.

  3. I've seen similiar statistics, and I can definitely relate to the homes selling faster portion. A well staged home definitely appeals to more buyers and feels less intimidating. In the Calgary real estate market though I don't see how it could possible raise selling price by 10 - 15%? On a $400k home that would raise selling price by $40-$60k. The home would have to have shown extremely poorly and been brought up to an extremely well showing property, however, I definitely do agree, in many cases it is more than worth the few hundred dollars.
