In this steaming hot market, staging your property before selling it is more important than ever. Why? Because every property that shows well attracts more buyers and receives even more offers. In the past 6 months the market has proven to me over and over again that any property that was staged correctly with a proper marketing strategy ended up in a multiple offers situation.

For example, one property was staged and ended up selling for over $120,000 more than a comparable property. On top of that, the unstaged property took a whole year to sell, whereas the staged property sold in 2 months. They are both in the same complex with the same squarefootage. This is a prime example why staging a property works, especially when two properties are similar.

Overall, for you as a home owner it will be worth the money. If the staging cost you $4,000-6,000, you will make your money back, if not more. Even then, your property will sell sooner at the same price.
