3 Staging Myths Keeping Your Home from a Higher Sale

Mar 21, 2022 | Seller's tip

Many people think staging is unnecessary, especially when the market is hot! But, on the contrary, professional home staging is a competitive advantage for your home in a hot market that will help your home stand out. So, how does staging work?

Staging can mean getting rid of everything and putting all your furniture in a storage unit. This might sound overwhelming, especially if you still want to live in the house till it sells. In that case, you can stage with many of your current pieces, especially if they are in good condition and serve staging purposes.

Although staging is an additional cost for getting your home market-ready, it’s an investment that helps sell your home over the asking price. However, there are 3 myths about staging that could be keeping you from selling your home for a higher price…

Myth #1: Home Staging Is The Same As Interior Design

Staging helps create mass appeal by marketing your home to the public. The process of staging involves decluttering and depersonalizing your home. Interior design is more dependent on the home owner’s personal taste and style, which doesn’t always appeal to everyone.

Myth #2: Home Staging Caters To Your Personal Style

Professional staging will cater to your home’s style to potential buyers rather than the current homeowners’ style. Therefore, it will help target the right buyer for your home who is willing to put in an offer without hesitation.

Home stagers don’t have a cookie-cutter aesthetic they use in each home. In addition, different demographics require varied staging strategies. Thus, staging cannot be the same for all areas.

Myth #3: Home Staging Is Expensive

Professional home staging sells your home faster, with less effort, and for top dollar. It will always help increase your home selling price. It will also save you the cost of relisting your home with a price deduction when sitting on the market longer than expected.
