Home staging sells property

Shift by Design were recently engaged to assist in the preparation of 2 properties in distinctly different markets and locations in the outer suburbs of Hobart in Tasmania.

The difference between these properties was that one was a more rural based property and the other was in a growing suburb 15 mins out of the city centre. 

Interestingly enough, both homes had been for sale for some time and both had been vacant up until Shift by Design were engaged to style and stage the homes. 

Both owners were looking to introduce something new into the equation and home staging was the ideal solution, what better way to engage the buyer and define the space in the property.

Using stock from Shift's extensive collection, each property was staged specific to the individual needs of both the home and the prospective home buyer. These are important considerations when staging a home for sale, as you only get one chance to make a positive first impression.

Both properties had only key areas of the home staged for sale, this meant the overall cost of the project was minimised yet the property look and feel was maximised. Keeping some rooms vacant will not hurt your selling chances, but staging key rooms such as the master bedroom, lounge room and dining room will make a huge difference to your buyers.

As was the case with both these home staging projects. After sitting on the market with no interest for some considerable time, both properties had multiple offers for contract within the first open home! A great result and proof that home staging is both cost effective and drives results.

While ideally a property would be staged prior to going onto the market, it also shows that home staging can be introduced with effect at any time of the selling cycle.
