Staged cottages sell for more money. According to a 2017 National Association of REALTORS survey 32% of agents believe that staged cottages sell for 1-5% more; on a million dollar house/cottage – that’s $10,000-$50,000 more money. 21% of agents believe staging adds 6-10% to the price of a home/cottage.
Staged cottages sell faster. According to the 2015 Home Staging Report staged homes and cottages sell 87% faster than homes or cottages that were not staged.
It’s easier for Buyers to envision themselves enjoying a cottage if it has been staged. When we optimize room use and flow, declutter, de-personalize, and clean and make design a priority, cottages look their best. 77% of Buyers believe that a staged cottage makes it easier to “visualize the property as their future cottage”
Staged cottages look better in photos, which is how most Buyers first see the cottage they eventually buy.
