The rooms that matter most when you sell.
Key Rooms to Stage When Selling Your Home
With more buyer options today, intentional staging can make your house stand out when selling. Staging isn’t about creating a magazine spread—it’s about making your home welcoming and move-in ready, helping buyers envision their life there.
What Is Home Staging?
Staging ranges from simple tweaks to full setups, depending on your needs and budget. A National Association of Realtors (NAR) study shows staged homes sell faster and for more money than unstaged ones, proving its value in today’s market.
Which Rooms Matter Most?
You don’t need to stage every room. NAR data highlights where buyer agents see the biggest impact: living rooms, primary bedrooms, and kitchens—spaces where buyers spend the most time. Focusing here maximizes appeal without overextending effort.
Why These Rooms?
- Living Room: A cozy, open layout invites buyers to imagine family time.
- Primary Bedroom: A clean, serene space suggests rest and comfort.
- Kitchen: A functional, inviting kitchen is a deal-maker for many.
How to Stage Effectively
Staging can involve:
- Decluttering and removing personal items to depersonalize.
- Rearranging furniture for better flow and space.
- Adding plants or art for warmth.
A local agent’s expertise is key here. They know what buyers in your area want, based on feedback from showings and tours. They can assess if your home needs minor adjustments or a bigger overhaul, like renting furniture for an empty space.
Making an Impact
Staging doesn’t require extravagance; it’s about creating a buyer-friendly feel. A great agent can pinpoint the right level of effort for your goals, enhancing your home’s appeal.
