Statistics gathered by Stagedhomes.com shows that 95.6% of homes Staged® by an Accredited Staging Professional, ASP®, sell within 37 days compared to an average of 212 days for non-Staged® homes. ASP® Staged® homes are on the market 83% less time than a non-Staged® home.
“Home Staging is a statistically proven method that typically sells homes faster and for more money,” said Barb Schwarz, CEO of Stagedhomes.com. “The results are further proof that the investment of Staging® a home is less than the first price reduction,” she added.
Schwarz developed the concept of Home Staging® in the early 1970’s and has since trained over one million Real Estate Agents in her professional training and speaking career about the concepts of Home Staging®. She is a nationally known and award-winning speaker, author and trainer. Schwarz developed the Accredited Staging Professional® designation and course program and she is the Founder of the International Association of Home Staging Professionals, IAHSP®.
The statistics report is based on survey results gathered from over 1,000 Accredited Staging Professionals® across the US and Canada from July, 2009 through December, 2009. Please click here to view a complete statistics report at Stagedhomes.com
Professional Home Staging is the fastest growing new career opportunity in the real estate industry. Recommended by top real estate agents and as seen on television, Home Staging is professionally preparing homes for sale, so that they appeal to the most amount of buyers and generate the highest price in the least amount of time on market. In today’s market conditions, Staging sells homes. Home Staging is NOT decorating, fluffing, interior design or redesign! Instead, Home Staging is detailing, de-cluttering, depersonalizing and preparing a seller’s home to give it a “model home” appearance so that the potential buyer can “see” themselves living in the home.
