Why Staging? | Home Transformations Staging | Grove City, PA

The 2019 National Association of Realtors (NAR) survey of over 2,300 realtors found that about half of the seller's agents believe that a staged home increases the value of the home by 6-20%.
On a $300,000 house, that's a price increase of $18,000-$60,000!
Home staging services can cost from $200 (consultation) to 1-3% of the home's value, depending on what needs to be done, furniture rentals etc... However, for a small investment of 1-3% in professional staging /updates, your rate of return at 6-20% is HUGE! (NAR)

Price reductions cut 100% into your profits!
According to a 2018 study by Home Staging Resource of over 3,500 professionally staged homes, a staging investment of just 1%-3% of the home's price generated a return of 8-10% in the sale price of the home!
So on a $300,000 house, if the seller invests even 1%, (= $3000), in preparing it to sell, they will typically see a $24,000-$30,000 return! (Seriously, how long does it take us to make that kind of money?!)
