Houses are flying off the market like hot cakes. But even in today’s seller’s market, staging a home can help you get the top dollar for your property in a fraction of the time. 

Staging is all about showcasing all the best features of your home with updated, neutral décor and colors (think Chip and Joanna Gaines). By designing an engaging, move-in-ready atmosphere, buyers may be more committed to and willing to increase their offer — often above the asking price. 

If you’re preparing to sell your home, we’ve gathered home staging statistics from both buyers’ and sellers’ perspectives to help you decide whether it’s the right move to make.

Home Staging Statistics: Buyer’s Perspective

When it comes to staging your home, bright red paint and bean bag chairs probably aren’t a great idea. Before beginning the hunt for a house, buyers scouring home design trends on Instagram and Pinterest will have expectations of how their future home should look. Instead of showcasing your personality, consider how you can help buyers envision themselves living in your home. 

Let’s take a look at how home staging can influence a buyer’s decision in 2022. 

 

Having photos, videos , and virtual tours of a staged home available is more important since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. 82% of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home. 63% of agents said that buyers believed homes should look like they were staged on TV shows. 27% of buyers were more willing to overlook other property faults when viewing a staged home.

Home Staging Statistics: Sellers’ Perspective

Staging doesn’t just benefit the buyer — it can significantly decrease the time your home spends on the market and increase how much money you walk away with. However, the impact home staging makes will depend on the type of house and where it’s located. 

Wondering if staging your home is worth the investment? We collected statistics from the seller’s side of the process to paint a clearer picture, including the percentage of staged homes and which homes experienced the greatest return on investment (ROI).
