carpeted bedrooms.
Every important detail of these townhouses was identical. I studied every aspect of these sales to find what made the difference. There are two reasons one home sold for $25,000 more than the other: • Townhome A was professionally staged, giving it a more appealing appearance. • The agent selling this home took higher-quality, more attractive photos of the home. Those two seemingly small actions made the $25,000 difference! The buyers of Townhome A made a higher offer because the agent presented the home in a more appealing, attractive way.
THE POWER OF STAGING WHEN SELLING A HOME
Consider these potential case studies and reports, based on real stories, regarding the power of staging (vs. not staging) your home when selling it: In general, you will find that staged homes sell for more money and more quickly than non-staged homes. According to the International Association of Home Staging Professionals (IAHSP) — which serves and educates home stagers and Realtors in North America and beyond — staged homes sell for an average of 17% higher than the asking price. For higher-priced homes in cities like Vancouver (B.C.), Toronto (Ontario), Calgary (Alberta), and Montreal (Quebec), this could amount to a significant chunk of change.
