I'm here to tell you, home staging works no matter your price point!
Here's 2 homes we staged in the past 2 months:
Listed at $225,000, this Pasadena Affordable Housing condo (64 Mar Vista #115) sat on the market for almost 3 years before staging. We staged it in March and it's now about to close escrow, 60 days later! We've destaged this unit and staged another to help with a faster sale on that one too.
We staged this Beverly Hills luxury home, listed for $6.9 M in April. They received an offer after the first week on the market! I'm going to repeat myself: $6.9 M with an offer in the first week.
The Pasadena condo was vacant and unoccupied. The Beverly Hills luxury home was occupied - the home owner was living in the home after we staged it . It doesn't matter. If you are thinking of putting your Los Angeles, Pasadena, Arcadia or San Marino home on the market, and you want it to sell quickly, hire a professional home stager.
Home staging works for a faster sale, no matter your price point!

I agree, it makes a huge difference!
Nancy: Great minds think alike!
Awesome stats on both properties! Some people think it's just the low range homes that need the extra help and some people think it's only the high end that can afford it...either way they are wrong!
Amen! Let's all repeat: Home Staging Works No Matter What the Price Point Is!
Michelle, I'm going to click my red heels together and repeat: "There's nothing like home staging, there's nothing like home staging..."
Sharon: Out here, people think staging is just for expensive homes, not the modest ones, too. We staged both cost effectively and made it worth the owners' while by helping with a faster sale.
Click away, Sally!
WOW!! I wish more asset management companies would use staging in the REO here
Renee: I have heard of one Asset Management company staging 80 homes in Las Vegas in a very large development that went belly up. I think the tide is changing and banks will start to come on board.
Hi Michelle, Love your posts! Hope you've been busy and well.
Thanks, Diane.
I'm working with a couple of developers that think the "bottom" price point to Stage is $500,000 ~ I've been convinceing them otherwise, slowly, but surely. This post just goes to show it DOES work at any price point.
Connie: the key is striking a balance with the cost vs. listing price. Hopefully, your developers will see the light!
Michelle,
I agree COMPLETELY. But I also think that most people think it is mostly for high end. It is up to us to educate them! I have never seen a house that doesn't need some staging. You really put it so well in your blog!!!
Take Care,
Marianne
