Home staging is the process of preparing a property for sale to make it more appealing to potential buyers. People buy into a lifestyle. Unless they are able to visualise a space as their future home (can't see beyond clutter, unfortunate layout, outdated decor, repair needs, or just a style not to their taste), they will walk away because they don't see the potential. And that is true for 90% of the people. Just imagine how many potential buyers might walk away, not because the house has no potential, but because they don't see it!
Home staging is a common practice in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Sweden and many other countries. It is getting more and more popular in the UK too. Why? Because staged homes sell faster and for more money. Simple as that.
However....
Staging your home comes at a cost. Money, time and stress. While the money will be recovered through a higher selling price, you might want to save time and your sanity (and keep more money of course!) too.
Traditional home staging can mean anything and everything from de-cluttering to full renovation - painting walls, repairing damages, buying or renting furniture, and accessories, maybe even structural changes like creating an open plan, or the opposite, putting up walls to create cosy spaces. Nevertheless, on top of designer fees (unless you take on the challenge yourself), you would spend money, time, and most probably, a considerable amount of stress to carry out all the work that is needed! Not to mention, that you can only create one version therefore you would aim for the most general look and feel. And then cross your fingers that your efforts (and investment) will pay off.
What if I told you that there is a much better way.
What you need is virtual staging.
Why virtual staging?
Virtual staging is a more flexible, faster, more affordable alternative to traditional home staging delivering the same benefits
What virtual staging can do for you
More viewings
95% of people search online for their new home. If the images are not appealing enough, they will simply pass and won't even get to view your property
Up to 3x faster sale
Your property will be appealing to more people, which will result in more viewing and a faster sale. Nobody likes to be in that pre-sale limbo state for long.
8% more money
And most importantly, you will get more money for your property! According to Rightmove, the average is 8% higher price (compared to non-staged properties), but a recent study even shows a much higher return - 18%! That's £180K extra on a £1m property!
Remember, you only get 7 seconds to impress your potential buyer. Waste no time.
