Condo Staging Tips the Scale

Often Real Estate Agents think that staging is only for the McMansions but I would like to point out how staging can help sell any condo. Condos are different than selling a single family home. In some ways they are easier to price because most of the time all of the units in a building are pretty much the same. Therefore it is pretty clear that the best comps will be what has recently sold or is under agreement in the same complex.

If a condo is priced right, the single most important thing that you can do as a Seller is have it staged. Most of the time there are a few condos on the market at the same time. The Buyers are most likely seeing all of them and comparing. If all of the units compare as far as size and updates (kitchens, baths,floors,etc.) then the tipping point will be a staged condo that draws Buyers in and makes them want to linger.

Here is an example of before and after pictures of a staged model condo :

And here is an example of what an affordable staging report and consultation can do!

People buy homes that make them comfortable. A neatly packaged condo that is presented well on the market will always win over the competition. A good stager will help the Seller focus on what is most important.

The icing on the cake is that the unstaged units will actually help sell the staged unit!
