Return on Investment

Few years ago, it seems as long as the place has a front door, you can probably sell it. Well, the real estate market is not what it used to be. Nowadays, the house needs to be in top-shape in order to be competitive. Besides having to spend the money to fix-up/remodel the place, you should also remember to “dress it up”! Presentation is everything, a properly staged home is essential to help sell the property fast and at top dollar.

ROI of Home Remodeling & Staging

ROI of Home Remodeling & Staging

The Return on Investment (ROI) number in the chart above might surprise you, but think about this a bit… Brand new electrical wiring or copper plumbing might be highly welcomed upgrades, but they won’t “emotionally capture” the potential buyers. The potential buyers need to emotionally “move-in” as soon as they step in the front door, and be able to picture themselves sitting in front of the fireplace reading a book or hosting parties around the dinning room… 

Staging transforms a cold, uninviting house into a warm, welcoming home. The ROI of home staging begins way before the first open house… the photos of a well staged home on the internet help attract the home buyers to make the time and find their way to your home, and boost the likelihood for a deal, which translates to a fast sell, less holding cost and perhaps at the best possible price. 
Hire a professional stager for the job, or DIY, but definitely put in your best effort to present your home in the best possible light, because a lot of equity is at stake!
