Staging Statistics
Sixty-two percent of NAR sellers agents offer home staging services to sellers and one-third of sellers agents stage all their listings. Here are the statistics on WHY staging is recommended by so many realtors to help homes:
- The cost of staging is always less than the cost of a price reduction.
- It is estimated that only 10% of home buyers can visualize the potential of a home. That means 90% are not going to be able to look past dirt, clutter, and imperfections.
- According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR),the average staging investment is between 1 and 3% of the home’s asking price which generates a return of 8 to 10%. At Great Impressions Home Staging, we can often stage 4 to 5 main rooms in a vacant home for 3/4 to 1% of list price, including furniture rental, accessories, delivery and pick-up, and labor.
