"If is wasn't for you and your company we would not have sold our home.  It was on the market for 10 months before we decided we needed to try something different.  The professionalism we received from your company was extraordinary.  Within 80 days of our home being staged by your company it was sold. Thank you."

 These statistics show that staging a home PRIOR to putting it on the market yields the greatest results. It saves you and your clients time, money and lots of stress! However, even staging a home after it has already been listed for sale, can still help the home sell faster.

 

These statistics are available to download for FREE on our local website: www.WeStageSC.comand the Real Estate Staging Association's website: www.RESA-USA.org.

 As shown in the above national statistics, staging prior to putting the home on the market can save you lots of time. But exactly how much money does that equal?

 

The above study shows that 126 homes were listed on the market for approximately 9 months before deciding to stage.

 

It also shows that 284 homes (vacant & occupied) that were staged prior to being listed sold on average in 40.5 days, or approximately 7 months faster than the unstaged homes.

 

Here is an example of a formula to use to calculate the savings:

 

Monthly Mortgage Payment             = $1800

Direct Expenses                             = $300

Total Monthly Carrying Costs          = $2100

 

For the homeowners in our study whose homes were on the market for approximately 9 months their total expenses were ($2100 x 9) = $18,900.

 

Had the homeowners staged their homes first, they could have saved 7 months on market and their savings could have been ($2100 x 7) = $14,700.

These numbers are all relative to individual mortgage and expenses. Use this simple formula to determine how much you will save by staging your home or listing before putting it on the market:

This month it is important that you reach out to potential clients and let them know that staging works! Show them these national statistics as well as your own local results.

 

Your target newsletter date is Tuesday, March 16th.
