Further, the 2017 NAR Report states the most commonly staged spaces are the living room (83%), kitchen (76%), master bedroom (69 %) and the dining room (66%). Twenty-nine percent of respondents said these changes increased the home’s final selling price by 1 to 5%, and 21 % said the home’s final selling price increased by 6 to 10%.
The 2017 NAR Report states “Realtors know how important it is for buyers to be able to picture themselves living in a home and, according to NAR’s most recent report, staging a home makes that process much easier for potential buyers,” said NAR President William E. Brown in a statement.
