Record Level US Home Sales Bodes Well for Home Stagers
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has reported that sales of existing homes are at their highest level in over two years which bodes well for home stagers.
It is believed that Obama’s $8,000 tax credit for qualified first-time home buyers has been a driving force behind these high sales levels. The tax credit deadline, which was supposed to be at the end of November, has been extended to April 30 which will give more first-time buyers the chance to dive into the real estate market and take advantage of this tax credit. And that is great news for home stagers because it will help boost demand for staging in the new year.
The group of buyers home staging has the greatest impact on is the first-time home buyer.
These buyers often have the strongest emotional response to homes that have been staged. Since they’ve never had the experience of buying a home before, this is the group most worried about the responsibilities that come with being a homeowner. They are also the least realistic about how great a house they can get in whatever their price range is.
A well-staged home is not plagued by a bunch of repair projects, ugly wallpaper or an abundan`ce of clutter that would scare off many first time buyers. Home staging helps them see the home in its best light and it helps them imagine themselves living there. Not only that, it creates the “I can just move right in” feeling that would comfort a nervous first-time buyer.

Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It?
- HI,
I have used trade shows (not participated) to collect potential clients. For example, the Home & Garden Industry is extremely behind the time in regards to their websites. I attended an Home & Garden Expo in Denver and collected all the companies contact information. I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business.
It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need.

- That depends what type of business you are involved in. Maybe if you share that, we can help you a little better.
I work mostly in the Work at Home industry so my advice would only be along those lines.
Franchises in Texas...
- I wonder if any Home Depots are going to open in Houston and environs to take care of rebuilding the city and suburbs?
At the very least, it will probably be a boon for construction and home repair workers.... and scammers too, of course.
Home Equity to Finance your business
- Jen, do you have Home Equity you can leverage?
Maybe a relative or close family member can do it for you in return for an interest "balloon payment" at the end of 5 years (the rate would be above what they would get if they invested it in a GIC).
