It is possible to purchase a staged house including the furniture. Home staging is the process of preparing a house for sale by making it look its best. This often involves decorating and furnishing the house in a way that is appealing to potential buyers. If you are interested in purchasing a staged house, you should contact the realtor or the community builder to find out the name and contact information of the staging company. You can then call the staging company and negotiate to purchase the furniture along with the house. The cost of home staging can vary depending on the size of the house and the extent of the staging, but it typically ranges from $631 to $2,304. Full furniture rentals for extended periods can cost $6,000 or more.
Home staging can be a worthwhile investment for sellers, as it can help to increase the appeal of the property and attract more potential buyers. According to the National Association of Realtors, 47% of buyers' agents said that staging positively affected most buyers' opinions of a property. Staging can help buyers to imagine what the house will be like if they lived in it, and can give the property a glossy, furniture catalog feel. It is important to avoid common home staging mistakes, such as arranging furniture on an angle or using outdated furniture, as these can make the property feel smaller or out of style. Instead, focus on decluttering the house and arranging furniture in a way that is both functional and visually appealing.
