Staging: Essential in a slow market
With 87 percent of home buyers shopping on the Internet, the pictures they see there are the first, and sometimes the only, chance for sellers to make a good impression. Staging before photographing makes your property "one to see."

The Real Estate Staging Association compiled recent data, released in February 2009:

 Un-staged,
NOT SOLD
Staged, Listed

(Occupied Homes Previously on the Market)

Un-staged homes sat on the market, unsold, for the designated average number of days. They were taken off the market, staged, then re-listed. This time, they sold in significantly less time.

2008 was statistically a worse market than 2007, yet staging still proved to sell properties in less time than un-staged properties.

Staging works even in a slow market.



A portion of all staging projects will be donated to the CSP™ Charity of Choice, Habitat for Humanity.
