Does staging a home really work?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-staging-worth-it.htm">staging a home really works</a> and can help your home sell faster, potentially for a higher price than if you did not use a home staging service. According to the National Association of Realtors, 48% of seller’s agents reported home staging decreased a home’s time on the market. </p><p>Plus, 20% of buyer’s and seller’s agents claimed home staging increased home sale prices by 1% to 5%. Although decluttering and cleaning help a home sell, staging can take your home’s curb appeal to the next level, helping to expedite the process and increase your profit.</p></div>

What should you not use a home equity loan for?

• <div><p>Avoid using a home equity loan for non-essential or short-term expenses like vacations, luxury purchases, or temporary financial fixes. It’s best to reserve home equity loans for long-term investments, such as home improvements, that can add value to your property or financial position.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect staging costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on home size, number of rooms staged, duration of staging, and furniture rental needs.</p></div>

Q: Does LVP increase home value?

• <div><p>While LVP won&rsquo;t increase home value as much as engineered hardwood, it can increase the value somewhat because it creates a warm and inviting aesthetic. It&rsquo;s also durable and waterproof, so it can be appealing to homebuyers with pets and children. LVP is very low-maintenance, so that can also appeal to homebuyers who don&rsquo;t want to spend a lot of time keeping up with an engineered or solid hardwood floor. </p></div>

Q: Can I stage my home myself?

• <div><p>DIY staging is possible, but professional services enhance buyer appeal with expertly chosen furniture, layouts, and colors.</p></div>
