Staging and making repairs are essential for selling a house and can lead to significant profit increases. In Florida, sellers achieve 5% to 15% more for staged homes. Older properties require careful consideration when updating, as contemporary changes may diminish their charm. Original features from the 1920s to the 1960s are highly valued by buyers. The trend now favors vintage detailing over neutral designs. Experts emphasize that staging is not always required and that understanding when to stage or not is crucial for a successful sale.
"I've seen sellers earn 5% to 15% more than comparable unstaged properties just by making thoughtful updates and adding light staging," says Maria McKenna.
"Some homes have soul, and you don't want to erase that, especially with older homes from the '20s, '50s, or even early '60s," says real estate broker Alex Platt.
"Buyers have moved on from all-gray everything and are craving cozier spaces and vintage detailing," says Mandi Young.
"When it comes to selling a home, staging isn't always a one-size-fits-all solution," says Brett Ringelheim.
