 We know that
every day a property sits on the market unsold costs
you money.
The Wall Street Journal (1/08/07) reported: the
large number of vacant homes for sale and rent has
the potential to continue to keep prices down, despite
hopes for an improvement in the market this spring. According
to the U.S. Census Bureau, 4.6 percent of all homes
are vacant - that's 5.7 million vacant housing units! Analyst
Ivy Zelman of Credit Suisse says empty homes push
home prices downward. Owners get nervous about the
expenses of their vacant homes piling up, and sell
or rent at much lower prices. This causes other
would-be buyers to expect lower prices as well.
If you have vacant properties negatively affecting
your bottom line, then now might be a great time
for you to learn more about real estate staging: see What
Is Staging? and How We Work.
Staged homes and apartment houses sell faster and
more profitably when they are looking their best,
updated and in good repair.
Business
people who develop residential homes and condominiums
spend hundreds of thousands
of dollars staging "model homes." We
think that is a pretty good indication that STAGING
WORKS!
