I've been reading article after article on home staging recently. Looking at the before and after pictures, I can see that it does make a huge difference in how the home looks. What I want to know is if it really does help a property sell faster!
 I listed a home at 3374 S. Sunrise, Springfield, MO, in September 2009. This home was immaculate, having been occupied by a single older lady since it was new in 1999. The carpets were in excellent shape, and you could still see footprints in the main hallway. The problem was....they were blue. Not only that, the walls were painted Pepto Bismol pink all throughout the house. She had previously listed the property with another agent and hadn't had any results. As I walked through the home the first time, I could see what was preventing many homebuyers from making an offer. The blue carpet and pink paint.
I was able to convince her to repaint the home first, but she was not initially receptive to changing the carpet since it was in perfectly good condition. So, we repainted, and the home showed several times....still no offers. After a couple of months of receiving feedback regarding the carpet, I was able to convince her to replace the carpet. That made a huge difference in the home, but the listing and home were becoming stale on the market and the showings continued to decrease.
Before new carpet and paint
After new carpet and paint
Here we are 9 months later....and still very little activity or showings. We have reduced the price from $113,900, to $104,900, repainted and recarpeted. Still nothing. Needless to say, we're both pulling our hair out.
What else can we do?
I suggested home staging. The owner was slightly offended and taken back by that suggestion, but after numerous conversations, I finally convinced her to let me TRY it. She was not living in the home anymore, and and sold several pieces of her furniture, so the home appeared half lived-in, and her furniture was outdated.
I tried calling several home stagers in the area, but couldn't even receive a call back. Finally, I took ahold of the reigns myself and rented furniture from a local rental place. Here are my results: (To Be Continued......)

Now I realize I am not a professional home stager, and would probably do a couple of things different; however, the cost for this home makeover was only $175.00. At that price, it couldn't hurt!
My new photos are being uploaded today. I am curious to see if this makes a difference in the number of showings and......drumroll please......and maybe an offer?!? I'll keep you posted.
