Last post I talked about the Return on Your Investment when you take wallpaper down BEFORE you list your property. I want to follow up with the property in Metuchen that was listed first WITHOUT removing the wallpaper. While the house did get offers - they were not acceptable. Fast forward to the owners taking the paper down, staging, and relisting, and the results are in! The received offers $15,000 HIGHER than the original list price! They got a 500% return on their investment to remove paper and paint! What investment do you know that can give you a 500% return? Â
Bottom line - home staging works at getting top dollar!
