A staged home slows down the buyers during the touring process and helps them to remember the listing. It also helps potential buyers to move in mentally, enabling them to imagine themselves living there.In the home's sales literature, a staged home photographs better than a vacant one or a non-staged, lived-in home because it's more edited and professionally styled to appeal to a broader range of buyers. Staging will help to move buyers to the open houses and increase foot traffic.

Something else to consider: the cost of staging is always less than the cost of your first price reduction. Staging is a great investment for sellers who are looking to sell quickly and for more money. A staged home also usually sells about twice as fast as a non-staged home and frequently for as much as 15% more!
