Do Staged Homes Sell Faster?

Yep — staged homes generally do sell faster than unstaged ones.

Here’s a quick breakdown of why:

📈 Stats Say Yes

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 82% of buyers’ agents said staging made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.
Staged homes often sell 3x faster than non-staged ones, depending on market conditions.
Some studies have shown that staged homes can spend 30%–50% less time on the market.

💡 Why Staging Works

First impressions: Buyers often make a judgment within the first few seconds.
Better online presence: Photos of staged homes look more appealing in listings.
Space perception: Staging helps buyers understand room size and layout better.
Emotional connection: It creates a homey, welcoming vibe that helps buyers feel like they could live there.

💰 Bonus: Higher Offers

While your question was about speed, it's also worth noting that staging can increase offer prices too — sometimes by 5% to 10% over similar upstaged homes.
