Staging Statistics Prove Staging Works!

Happy New Year!

We have some great new Staging Statistics to help us validate that Staging continues to work all over the country! As an Accredited Staging Professional Master (ASPM) it is my privilege to be associated with a company, Stagedhomes.com, that helps track national statistics for Staging.

In November 2007, they released the results of a 6 months survey of over 400 houses that were Staged for sale. The results showed that the ASP Staged houses sold 80% faster than the competition.




The other statistic was from Home Gain that updated a 2003 study of 2,000 Realtors. In 2008 this study shows that Staging is even MORE valuable as an investment in getting a house ready for sale!
As a Home Stager and Trainer - these statistics are vital to the continued growth of our industry.


In the Sacramento region that has been hit very hard by the market slow down, Staging continues to be a defining service for selling a house versus having it sit and wait for a buyer.

Our company statistics that I track at We Stage Sacramento show that houses that we Staged last year sold an average of 33% faster than the market averages, and some 90% faster.


Happy Staging!
