Our ASP Staged Houses are SELLING in RECORD TIME! - By Jennie Norris, ASPM, IAHSP

We are so excited! In our tough market where average days on market can be 100 - we have seen nearly all our ASP Staged properties SELL within 30 days or LESS!

Our We Stage Sacramento success stories are part of the national statistics that are tracked by Stagedhomes.com and of course as a savvy business owner, I also prepare my own company stats to share with clients locally. Our graphic representation of our success (below) speaks volumes.

Not only are the ASP Staged houses we have Staged selling, but they are getting multiple offers, selling for MORE than list, or selling AT LIST price, and in one case at 92% of list. Getting multiple offers in this market is something we have not heard about for over 2 years - and it is happening with the ASP Staged properties!

It is exciting to be able to help Sellers and Realtors achieve their goals of selling in the shortest time and at the best price!

We Stage Sacramento - STAGING SUCCESS STATISTICS!

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!
