There’s a Difference Between Decorating & Staging – A BIG Difference!

There’s a Difference Between Decorating & Staging – A BIG Difference!

I feel like I’ve shared this tidbit before but, for the life of me, can’t find my post! Regardless, it’s worth repeating…

Have you ever noticed that decorators have a tough time putting the kibosh on ‘designing’ homes they are prepping for sale? Everyone knows a decorator/designer and many times when I suggest a stager, I hear, “Oh my BFF is a decorator – I’ll have her come in and help!” 

It’s just NOT the same! I belong to a very large city group and was recently tagged on a post by a homeowner who has now listed their house. It is in a neighborhood that I had a buyer looking but, they weren’t ready to list when my buyer was ready to buy. Now they have had to reduce the price and she is reaching back out to everyone who showed any interest. 

I opened the ad and felt like I was looking into one of those psychedelic posters from the 70’s! Now, the décor was fabulous and certainly not from the 70’s but, there was so much ‘stuff’ that I couldn’t even see the rooms. The beautiful tchotchkes were everywhere…and as mesmerizing as a psychedelic poster! 

Instead of “Oh my goodness, I love your house,” there were dozens of comments, asking about particular pieces of furniture and many of the tchotchkes the readers loved. The commenters wondered if she would sell those items before she moved. 

Others were asking who her decorator was! To me, that one question is a sure sign that the house (which is what is actually being sold here) is being overlooked.

There is a HUGE difference between decorating and staging; when you’re selling, you don’t want the former! The explanation that I give my sellers with decorator friends is that the more items a decorator sells to you, the more money they make. Stagers are minimalists; their job is to show off your house, not your STUFF! Staging isabout creating ambiance and appeal for buyers.

On Unemployment & Home Equity

by Leave a Comment

With widespread fear due to the unemployment numbers, let’s dig a little deeper into those numbers. There are actually several silver linings to consider when you hear those scary unemployment numbers reported.

  • *More than 4,000,000 Americans who filed unemployment initially, have likely already found a new job.
  • 14.7% of Americans are unemployed. The largest group of unemployed is, by far, teenagers. Their unemployment has very little impact on the housing market.
  • Industries showing the most aggressive growth since the original unemployment filings include health care, food and grocery stores, retail, delivery and telecommunications.
  • Contrary to the fear that is reported, the unemployment rate will not initiate a massive new surge of foreclosures. In fact, homeowners have more equity in their homes than ever before. 
  • 58.7% of homes in America have at least 60% equity.
  • 42.1% of all homes in the US are mortgage-free. 
  • Inventory levels are at an all-time low. It will take years to move from a sellers market to a balanced one.

Let me repeat a very sobering stat – 58.7% of homes in America have at least 60% equity. That number is completely different than it was back in 2008 when the housing bubble burst. During The Great Recession, many found themselves owing more on their mortgage than what their homes were worth. 

*Here are the top 10 states that are rebounding the fastest from the original unemployment filings. 

Drilling down in the statistics to get a bigger picture of what unemployment means for homeownership and understanding the significant equity Americans hold today, really does help to see a more clear picture.  With 42.1% of all homes in this country being mortgage-free, there is already a large number of homes that are not at all at risk for foreclosure.

Bottom Line

When you hear or read a single statistic that gives you care for concern, dig a little deeper in the statistics. The real data is not emotional and will give you the real picture too.
