Home Staging ROI

• Staging your home makes it more desirable. Data indicates that buyers are likely to pay more for a staged home than one without furniture. Staging is a small investment that can deliver a positive return on investment (ROI).
• About 75% of sellers see an ROI of 5% to 15% over the asking price when they choose to stage their homes professionally before they put them up for sale.
• Investing 1.3% in staging results in a 7.1% average over-list return, according to a 2021 survey.
• Staging helps increase the sale price by up to 20% on average based on a 2022 report.
• Sellers who chose not to stage their homes experienced an average home price reduction of five to 20 times greater than the staging investment would have been.5

As a seller, your assets are our number one priority. Competitors often speak of being luxury brokers....but what really is the definition of a Luxury Home? A luxury home is one that is valued within the top 10% of properties on the local market. Luxury homes tend to be considerable in size, located in optimal areas, constructed and finished with high-end materials, and designed with uncommon architectural details and exceptional amenities. While the features of these homes are highly coveted, they tend to be more atypical within the market, enhancing their extravagant feel. These homes could vary in price point. What Makes A Home High-End? Luxury homes are high-end constructions. To be considered high-end, these homes typically possess seven distinct qualities revolving around their location, price, size, materials, design, amenities, and prestigious history. Let’s take a deeper look at each of these qualities and see how they’re realized in luxury homes for sale. 1. Prime Location Location is one of the largest determinants of property value, and high-end luxury homes are built in the most enviable of all locations. Whether they’re situated high in the mountains, along the waterfront, or at the center of a bustling city, these homes are found in prime locations across the country. 2. Higher Price There are certain counties, cities, and even neighborhoods that are more coveted, and thus more expensive, than others. While high-end luxury homes are often found in these more-desirable areas, they tend to be priced even higher than the majority of properties within the same area. Depending on the property values within the local area, buyers looking to snag a luxury property can pay anywhere from a few million dollars to over $100 million. 3. Greater Square Footage When it comes to high-end homes, size matters a great deal. The greater the square footage, the more luxurious these homes are considered. In some cases, greater square footage translates into a larger number of rooms – be them additional bedrooms, staff quarters, or areas dedicated to specialized amenities. In other cases, this additional space makes for larger, open areas and colossal master suites. 4. Premium Materials For high-end homes, quality is just as important as quantity. If the entire property is not constructed and finished with premium materials, it doesn’t matter how many rooms it has. Luxury homes use only the finest – think wooden herringbone floors, Italian marble countertops, decorative granite mantlepieces, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. 5. Unique Designs Homes that appear distinctive are held in higher esteem than the cookie-cutter houses of many suburban developments. Therefore, high-end homes come in all shapes and styles, for grandeur means something different to each person. Often, it’s the unique designs of the home – based on the singular priorities of the homeowner for whom it was built – which furnish the property with the luxury label.

Its important to be honest and upfront so you can be legally protecte

So many sellers forget the importance of having an agent who understands the legal aspect of a transaction. Our team specializes in understanding the contract, its contingencies, and your rights as a seller. Did you know that there is buyer's remorse in real estate? Did you know that you are not entitled to a buyer's deposit if they cancel the transaction? Your team member will elaborate and keep you informed throughout the transaction.

As offers come in you will have something called a Residental Purchase agreement aka "your official offer." Please do not feel overwhelmed I will be going over this in detail so that you are familiar with an offer. This is purely to educate and help you understand an offer.

If you haven't done so already, now is the time to reach out to us, and let's schedule a time to meet in person or via zoom. This listing agreement does not mean you must sell your home immediately...It is simply an acknowledgment that you would like to utilize the services of The Will Scott Group when you are ready to sell.
