Benefits
for Sellers
• Most staged homes have a shorter selling time than the
competition. The homes we've staged in 2006 that have moved to
pending or sold averaged 35 days on the market!!! Averages across
the Twin Cities are well over two months.
•
Most staged homes get top dollar based on comparative homes of
equal value in the neighborhood because they are selling faster.
According the Minnesota Association of Realtors, homes sold in
the first 4 weeks average 1.9% less than the listed price, homes
sold between 4 and 12 weeks average 3.6% less than listed price,
homes sold between 13 and 24 weeks average 5.6% less, and homes
sold after 24 weeks average 8.9% less than listed price.
• The home can be marketed as staged to Realtors who will
want to show your home because they will know it is in top selling
condition.
• Sellers get to live in a clean, organized home.
• The less time the home is on the market, the less time
the sellers spend cleaning and preparing their home for showings.
• Moving will be quicker because a lot of stuff will already
be packed.
• Sellers get ideas on how to layout their furniture and
accessories in their new home.
•
If you will be paying capital gains on the sale of your home,
all of the staging costs you incur may be tax deductible as part
of your selling costs. Please contact you accountant for exact
details.
