Staging your Kansas City home is beneficial when selling


Staging your Kansas City home is an increasingly important component, not only in selling a home but also in attracting would-be buyers. The best marketing in the world will be overshadowed by the wrong price and a poorly staged home. Even with all of the commonly accepted advantages of staging a home to sell, less than 33% of Kansas City homeowners stage their home.

The average increase in list to actual selling price in a staged home: 1.07%?
The average cost of staging: $250
???Potential benefit based on a $200,000 home: $3150

The Internet is one of the main sources of information buyers use during the home search process, and staging is key to showing the home at its best online.

Rooms that sellers stage most often:

Living Room: 73%
Kitchen: 64%
Master Bedroom: 58%
Dining Room: 49%
Master Bath: 45%
All Rooms: 37%
Office: 16%

One buyer last week told me that she picked through the mounds of homes I sent her by the pictures. Staging played a big part in determining whether she was even going to view the home.


The cost of staging is minimal compared to the benefits: more showings and ultimately a higher percentage of asking price.
