Home Staging, also known as House Fluffing, Home Merchandising, or Real Estate Merchandising, is the art of transforming your property to ensure that it presents with the greatest appeal for the broadest number of potential buyers. Home Staging is a proven real estate strategy, used by successful home sellers and realtors across North America, that ensures homes sell more quickly and often for more money.
How much more? An article in Canadian Business magazine states, “Coldwell Banker Realty tracked 2,772 properties, ranging in price from $229,000 (U.S) to $4.8 million, in eight major U.S. cities. It found that while the average home was on the market for nearly 31 days, the typical staged home sold in just under 14 days. And while the average home sold for a mere 1.6% over the seller's asking price, the staged homes went for a hefty 6.3% more”. Read entire article

BENEFITS OF HOME STAGING
You only have one chance to make a first impression... When putting your home up for sale, first impressions are important. Most home buyers will make up their mind about a home within minutes of viewing it. By staging your property before it goes on the market you ensure that all potential buyers get the right first impression; they see a home in which they can envision themselves living. Saves Time: Often, an un-staged home that has sat on the market for months will sell within days once it has been staged. Saves Money: The cost of staging your home is far less than the amount you will lose if you need to reduce your listing price. More Showings: Real Estate Agents favour homes that have been staged and know these properties will show better and move fast because of their appeal to a greater number of buyers. Faster Sale: It has been proven that staged homes sell faster than un-staged homes. A faster sale means less stress for you by not having to keep your home “viewer ready” at all times, and allows you to get on with organizing your move more quickly. More Money: Staging your home is a lucrative marketing tool. By staging your home you are setting it apart from the competition. Potential buyers remember your home and can see it as their own. Greater interest in your home can lead to a bidding war, getting you top dollar for your property.
