Why Buyers Prefer Staged Homes

When speaking with sellers, I always talk to them about how staging their house will benefit them... the truth is, it also benefits buyers, which is why sellers are able to close the house more quickly and for higher offers.  

How is it mutually beneficial?  Staging ensures buyers that a lot of the work has already been done for them.  When a home is staged, repairs and updates are typically recommended and carried out.  This means less work for the buyer, and presents them with a home they can move in as-is without being frustrated.  Below is an example of a recent home we just worked with.  When we first met with the clients, it had a good floor plan, but the homeowner would have alot of work ahead of them to get it where they want it, and many buyers would not be able to see past what it was currently (a home full of wood trim and paneling that was dated).  It is amazing what some paint, major cleaning, a few updates, and staging can do!  Plus, notes on the home inspection were addressed and taken care of as well.
