2445 Bristol Rd: Staging before and after
2445 Bristol was Listed for $249,900 and Sold for $265,000
One of the challenges of trying to sell a vacant home is that buyers can often have a hard time visualizing themselves living there. When rooms are unfurnished they actually feel smaller than they are; so a buyer might be unsure how to position furniture or if their current furniture will fit. Buyers also notice more flaws when a home is vacant and might incorrectly assume a home needs a lot of work when it really needs minimal cosmetic updating. Finally, a vacant property can give buyers the impression a seller is desperate, which could result in lower offers.
According to the National Association of Realtors, for every $100 invested in staging, the potential return is $400 . Compare that to the average sale price, which is a reduction of 10-20% from asking. So an average home with a $400,000 asking price will be reduced by $40,000 to $80,000.
From the Owner…
“We had our home, 2445 Bristol, fully staged for showings. I highly believe staging really helped get potential buyers interested and quickly! We had over 30 scheduled showings within the first 24 hours of putting our home on the market and even an offer before the house was even seen. That was all from just pictures with the staged pieces in place! The stager made everything look great and filling the space made it seem a lot bigger and homey too. Would definitely recommend doing this if you want to get your home sold as soon as you can. ”
