I had a listing presentation last week, the home was a rental and became vacant, it needs cosmetic work. As I went over my marketing with the owner, i said 'We are not going to spend $1 unless we know we can get $2 back.' Seller obviously loved it, so throughout our meeting, he met repeating this line back to me too as we went over marketing, repairs etc.. One question was asking about was staging, 'Should I spend $3000 to stage the home (this home isn't that big) and be able to get at least $6000 back?'. I wasn't 100% sure on the idea of staging, my attitude is, for homes at higher price point, staging will be great investment, but for lower price point and homes that are not appealing to everybody (like this is just a 1 bedroom condo at a prime location), staging can help but not that significant. I would like to hear from you, what do you think about staging? At what price point or what property type do you think it's a great investment? Thank you in advance!
