Home staging is the act of preparing a private residence for sale in the real estate marketplace. The goal of staging is to make a home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers, thereby selling a property more swiftly and for more money. Staging techniques focus on improving a property's appeal by transforming it into a welcoming, attractive product that anyone might want.

History

U.S.

Home staged for resale - family room, kitchen

U.S. research (based on surveys of real-estate agents, not on rigorously collected data on prices, and not peer-reviewed or published in peer-review journals) states that home staging can reduce a listing's time on the market by one third to half, and could fetch as much as 10-15% more than an empty home or a home not properly staged.

UK

In Britain, home staging is sometimes referred to as property presentation or property styling. The techniques have been televised by home stylist Ann Maurice in the television show House Doctor on Five.

A. We do Interior staging all the time for clients selling their home, for new home builders and in our own rentals where we set up models of each unit type. I downloaded the virtual tour and no offense, this was a very basic job. I don't mean to be rude or offensive, but when we set up we bring in accessories, furniture, books, electronics, pictures for the walls, pillows, throws, lamps, etc. and we set up each room with a traffic pattern that encourages flow through the home. This design has no concept, is too stark and makes the home cold. Worse yet it makes it look like everything is builder basic which cannot justify the asking price. The home has a great floor plan and terrific bones which aren't being used to their fullest… [cont.]

Is home staging a good career move in this real estate climate?
Q. Is home staging a good career move in this real estate climate?
Asked by Special C - Tue Jan 27 19:19:42 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Maybe yes, maybe no. Yes because those that need to sell will want to get every penny they can out of their house, considering it just lost about 1/3 it's value last year. No because many people are just hanging on to their existing house instead of buying up. You could market yourself for the "sales staging" and for the "re-decorate with what you have" options. Many folks want to change, and if you can do re-do's with the homeowner's existing belongings, that's a whole new market for your skills.
