STAGING VS. NON-STAGED CASE STUDY & REPORT
>>> You could not find a better example of two identical properties that sold for different prices. The details show these two homes are identical in every substantial way: The lots the units sit on are identical as far as the desirableness of the location. Both units had the same kitchen plan with the same cabinets and a tile floor. Both units had nice hardwood floors in the living room and 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 $40,000 more than the other: Townhouse #4438 was professionally staged, giving it a more appealing appearance. The agent selling #4438 took higher quality, more attractive photos of the home. Those two seemingly small actions made the $40,000 difference! The buyers of #4438 made a higher offer because the agent presented the home in a more appealing and attractive way. *B Curry, Realtor. Used with the permission of the author.
