Feb. 28, 2009 - PRLog -- With the changing market over the last year, many realtors and homeowners are wondering if the buzz about home staging is really true, or  just a waste of time and money.  Statistics from 2007 and 2008 have just become available through the Real Estate Staging Association, proving that professionally staged occupied homes sold 46% faster in 2007, and 89% faster in 2008.  Staged vacant homes previously on the market sold 68% faster in 2007 and 85% in 2008.

Los Angeles professional home stager, Beth Lester of Home Staging Designs of California, agrees that to compete in this buyer’s market, homeowners must take advantage of this relatively inexpensive investment opportunity.  Each week a property stays on the market leads buyers to make lower offers.  By properly preparing a home to entice buyers, homes sell faster, saving valuable equity for the homeowner and decreasing the time and cost of keeping a home on the market.  

Real estate staging is one of three necessary strategies to sell homes – proper pricing, marketing and preparation (staging).  The cost of staging is much less than a price reduction.  With over 90% of home buyers using the internet to select the homes they will view, it is critical that your home is shown in its best possible light.  To learn how we can help your South Bay home sell more quickly, call us at 310-809-7467 or visit our website at www.homestagingdesignsca.com.
