In this article, we take a closer look at the benefits of home staging with Casamona and explore why this process results in faster apartment rentals and sales.

Introduction to home staging

Investing in home staging can transform your space into an inviting environment for potential renters and buyers. By highlighting key features, creating spaciousness, and enhancing appeal, staging can help buyers envision themselves living in the space. Lighting and color set the mood and showcase the property’s best aspects.

Home staging showcases your apartment’s potential and leaves a lasting impression on buyers. Seeking professional help can elevate your staging efforts in Barcelona’s competitive real estate market.

Home Staging with Modern Apartment

How & why Casamona started home staging

Casamona’s CEO, Tine Mathiassen, discovered home staging while working as a real estate agent in the United States. There, she saw first-hand the positive impact of home staging and how it consistently led to faster sales times.

Furthermore, staged homes often command higher sale prices. According to the latest report by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 22% of agents reported a 1-5% increase in dollar value offered by buyers for professionally staged homes compared to similar unstaged properties.¹ Another 2021 report found that 85% of staged homes sold for 5% to 23% over the listing price.²

Which makes sense, Tine describes, “With a well-staged apartment, we can set ourselves apart from the competition, showcase the property’s full potential, and attract motivated buyers who are willing to pay a premium for a beautifully presented space.”

Finally, Tine highlights the improvement of online presence for staged properties. In today’s digital age, many homebuyers begin their search online. Especially younger generations. Another report found that 48% of Generation Z buyers and 40% of millennial buyers consider staging extremely or very important.³ Younger generations are generally more digitally savvy and spend a significant amount of time browsing online listings when searching for a home. Staged homes typically photograph better and present better in online listings, attracting more attention from potential buyers.

How to make your home more appealing with staging

Create a welcoming atmosphere

Create a cozy atmosphere in your apartment by using warm tones, cozy furnishings, and inviting decor. Brighten up the space with natural light and add fresh flowers or scented candles for a welcoming feel. Setting the stage for a warm environment will leave a lasting impression on visitors, helping them see themselves living in the space.

Consider adding personal touches like artwork or textiles that reflect the local culture. Keeping the space clean, well-maintained, and clutter-free will create a positive first impression. By focusing on the details and creating a cozy atmosphere, potential buyers or renters will feel comfortable and connected to the space, increasing the likelihood of a successful sale or rental.

Highlight key features

Staging involves showcasing unique property features and creating a lifestyle experience for viewers. By strategically placing furniture, using soft lighting, and adding stylish accents, we can transform an ordinary apartment into a desirable living space that resonates with the target audience. Working with a professional staging service familiar with the Barcelona market can provide valuable insights and resources to optimize the apartment presentation for a successful sale or rental.

Declutter and depersonalize

Depersonalizing and decluttering an apartment in Barcelona go hand in hand. This involves removing personal items to create a clean, neutral space for potential buyers. By doing so, buyers can better envision themselves living in the apartment, increasing the likelihood of a quick sale.

This approach highlights the property’s features and architectural details, making it more appealing to a wider range of buyers.
