Staged homes sell five to ten percent higher on average because they create compelling first impressions that emotionally engage buyers during both online browsing and showings. Staging highlights a property’s potential, makes rooms appear larger with strategic furniture placement and neutral tones, and helps buyers visualize themselves living there. This emotional connection builds a sense of value and urgency, prompting buyers to offer more. Selling a staged home maximizes return on investment and can speed up the sales process significantly.
