Market Update
Does home staging make a difference to buyers? 81% of buyer's agents say that staged homes make it easier for buyer's to visualize a property as a home. Staging can dramatically influence buyers' perceptions of a home and even motivate them to pay more. The National Association of Realtors survey revealed that 32% of buyer's agents say that their buyers are often willing to make offers of 1%-5% more for a staged home.
Home staging can be very advantageous, however only 34% of seller agents surveyed say they stage every home they sell. It is common for selling agents to only stage a home if it is "difficult" or high priced. This is most likely because home staging can be costly at a median price of $675.
46% of buyer's agents say that buyers are more likely to view a staged home that they viewed online. We offer virtual staging at half the price of traditional home staging. This helps buyer's visualize the property as a home but also keeps their minds open to all the decorating possibilities. Would you believe this home is virtually staged?
Have a wonderful week,

P.S. - Looks like everywhere else in the country housing inventory is shrinking but not here in Maui! Come buy here, you'll have a wide variety of selection, especially in the condominium market.
