Sellers Leaving Money on the Table

For sellers to achieve top dollar on their home many miss an important element that is costing them money.  Staging.   Lets do the math.  If the seller spends a median of $250 on staging and the selling price of a staged home is typically 1.7% higher, then for a $200,000 home, staging can result in a $3,150 return on investment at closing!  Since only one and three sellers stage their home, there are sellers leaving money on the table.

Sellers who enhanced their curb appeal received their first offer 6 days faster and sold 7 days faster for 1.23% points their in the list to sell percent.

The takeaway, sellers who choose not to stage and add curb appeal to their home is leaving money on the table.
