HOME STAGING STATISTICS
The following statistics are results from a survey conducted by the Real Estate Staging Association.

Vacant Homes Previously on the Market

In 2007 vacant homes that were previously on the market on average 131 days as un-staged properties had not sold.
These homes were taken off the market, staged and re-listed.
On average these properties sold after 42 days on the market resulting in 68% less time on the market.

In 2008 vacant homes that were previously on the market on average 190 days as un-staged properties had not sold.
These homes were taken off the market, staged and re-listed.

Staging is still working in a down market.
2008 was statistically not as good as 2007 and staging proved to sell properties at a significantly higher rate than non- staged properties.

Buyers benefit by purchasing homes that have issues resolved and that are move in ready.
A Maritz survey says that 63% of buyers will pay more for move-in ready homes.

A 2007 national survey of 2000 real estate agents conducted by Home Gain found that home staging can yield a 340% return on your investment.

• Photos of staged homes look better in print and Internet ads.
• Staged homes are recognized as properties ready to sell and are more likely to be shown.
• Homes that are staged are recognized by buyers as the best properties to view.
• Staged homes appeal to a larger number of potential buyers, thereby increasing the odds of a quicker sale.
