Staging With Art

The sole purpose of staging is to sell the house in the least amount of time for the most money by appealing to the maximum number of potential buyers.

Starting with fine art from Baterbys Art Gallery gives you a competitive edge and greatly increases the market value of the home.

According to Homestaging.com:

• Staged homes sell faster
• Staged homes receive higher offers
• Staged homes look better in MLS pictures
• Staged homes have an edge over competing properties

Iconographic images of art work by well know artists like Picasso and Dali are recognizable. Buyers subconsciously associate these images with luxury and premium, high-value items.

Home Is Where The Art Is

The U.S. Housing and Urban Development reports that a staged home will sell on average, 17% higher than unstaged homes.

The less time the home is on the market, the less advertising you would have to do which saves you more money. Using art as a focal point in the home to enhance its best features and redirect the buyers’ interest to where you want their attention focused.

USA Today, Oct. 27, 2006, states the following benefits of staging: “With 3.75 million homes on the market- a 7.3 month supply – sellers must work harder these days to attract buyers… And that’s where home staging comes in… Does it work? When Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Los Altos, Calif., looked at nearly 2,800 properties in eight U.S. cities in 2004, they found that the staged homes, on average, sold in half the time that the non-staged homes did. The sellers with staged homes ended up with 6.3% more than their asking price, on average, while sellers with non-staged homes for 1.6% more than the asking price.”
