In today's real estate market, sellers have to enhance their homes to compete with other homes in their area on the market. Home staging is a trend that started in the last decade and has not slowed down since.

Home staging is a selling technique on the rise. You may be reticent to hire someone to enter your home and stage to increase the neutrality, but this method has been proven, and increasingly necessary tool to sell your home, and get a good return, especially in today's market.

"The U.S. Housing and Urban Development reports that a staged home will sell, on average, for a 17 perecent higher price than an un-staged home." Additionally, "In a 2007 Home Gain Survey of more than 2,000 realtors, sellers who spent typically $500 on staging services for their home recovered over 343% of the cost in the sale of their home." - Tina Vervoom, American Chronicle.

The abundance of television shows centering on home staging displays the success of this field. These shows focus on reducing seller's "custom" features such as bright paint colors, misplaced or outdated furniture, asnd specifically attempt to reduce the aggregate clutter-books, picture frames, and knick knacks that homeowners accumulate. This overall approach changes the feel of the home and allows buyers to envision themselves living there.
