Why Staging Sells Homes Faster in Columbus

In today’s Columbus market, speed matters. Buyers are decisive. 82% of buyer’s agents report staging makes it easier for clients to picture a property as their future home (NAR, 2023).

The Realtor’s Challenge

We’ve seen it first-hand:

• A great home sits unsold because buyers “just can’t see it.”

• Price drops eat into commissions.

• Vacant listings feel cold online and empty in person.

The Staging Advantage

Staging solves those pain points. According to the National Association of realtors, 58% of buyers’ agents said staging increased a home’s value, while 23% of sellers’ agents reported offers were up to 5% higher.

Why Columbus Buyers Expect It

Columbus buyers scroll listings like Instagram feeds; they want bright, styled spaces that feel aspirational yet livable. Whether it’s a Short North condo or a Dublin family home, the expectation is polished design.
