Strategic home staging can significantly enhance your property's appeal and market performance when preparing to sell your coastal home in Laguna Beach or the surrounding Orange County areas. As a seasoned real estate professional, I've witnessed firsthand how thoughtful staging transforms homes and accelerates sales.​
What is Home Staging?
Home staging involves arranging furnishings and decor to showcase a property's best features, creating an inviting atmosphere that resonates with potential buyers. This process enables buyers to envision themselves living in the space, fostering an emotional connection that can lead to quicker and more competitive offers.​
Key Advantages of Home Staging
1. Facilitates Buyer Visualization
According to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), 81% of buyers' agents reported that staging a home helps buyers visualize the property as their future home.
2. Potential for Higher Offers
The same NAR report indicates that 20% of both buyers' and sellers' agents noted that staging increased the dollar value offered by buyers by 1% to 5% compared to similar unstaged homes.
3. Reduced Time on Market
Staged homes often sell faster. The NAR found that 27% of sellers' agents believed staging a home decreased the time it was on the market.
Staging in the Luxury Coastal Market
In the upscale coastal markets of Laguna Beach and Orange County, buyers seek more than just a residence; they desire a lifestyle. Effective staging highlights your home's unique features—such as ocean views, open floor plans, and seamless indoor-outdoor living—aligning with the aspirations of discerning buyers.​
