Home Staging is big business in the USA and the UK; and now we also see it as a growing trend here in New Zealand. Home Staging has really come into its own in recent years because of higher expectations from home buyers who have watched many of the home improvement shows on television, or read one of the numerous Home Decoration and Interior Design magazines available in our stores.
When selling it makes perfect sense to put your best foot forward, this means ensuring that your property is looking the very best that it possibly can look. The buyers that are in the market at that particular time will either see something that appeals, and want to return for a second look, or they will leave the property and go onto the next property for sale not giving yours a second thought.
Home Staging helps to give personality and life to empty houses, it also defines rooms, gives areas purpose and well selected furnishings will target the particular buyer you are after. Home Staging helps to cover imperfections and helps to enhance great features in a home.
Statistics show that a staged property will be on the market for less time, than a non staged property, and will sell for a higher price. This will out weigh the cost of staging compared to the holding costs of keeping a property on the market for a longer period of time and achieving a lesser sale price.
