Staged Homes Sell Faster and for More Money

By Jeanette Joy Fisher

Surveys on the effects of home staging range from stating that home sell for 30 percent faster to the Christian Science Monitor's statistic that staged homes sell twice as fast. Last year, during the hot seller's market, The National Association of Realtors found that staged homes sold in 13.9 days as opposed to 31 for non-staged homes. Imagine what the effect will be during a buyer's market.

According to the same report by the Christian Science Monitor, staged homes sell for 7.4 percent more.

No matter what the real estate market does this year, you must protect your equity. Don't just put up the "for sale" sign and hope for the best. Prepare your home for a top-dollar sale.

It's been said that getting your home ready for sale is like getting ready for a beauty contest. You have to take what you've got to work with and enhance it. And you've got to take what's not drop-dead gorgeous and make it look better. Then you're ready to face your competition.
