When you’re listing your property for sale, you’re not just selling walls and floorboards. You’re offering someone a preview of their next chapter. And let’s be honest – it’s this emotional connection that often turns “house viewings” into “offer accepted”.
Home staging, sometimes known as property styling, is the process of preparing a home for sale by enhancing its visual appeal, ultimately helping potential buyers imagine their lives there. It involves arranging furniture, adding décor, and creating a welcoming atmosphere that highlights the home’s best features. A well-styled home can make a powerful first impression, attract more interest, and often lead to a faster sale and higher price.
In short: yes.
There’s growing evidence that a home styled well for sale tends to perform strongly. With reduced listing times and higher selling prices – staging is worth the investment. There is evidence across the market that staging/styling typically costs less than 1% of property value, but boosting sale price at times but up to 15%.
And in the current market this can make a huge difference in the returns
You don’t always need professional styling to make a big impact. With a few thoughtful touches and a bit of elbow grease, you can create a warm, welcoming space that attracts more buyers and helps your property shine. Here’s what we recommend at Keevers Group:
