Most home and business owners cannot objectively view a space they have occupied for more than a year. If they can’t view it objectively, they cannot strategize a project successfully. Through our FEEL HOME philosophy in both design and staging, we execute a tried and true method that utilizes 8 strategic steps tailored to help our clients find the right balance between their personal objectives and our expertise. This collaborative process in any project is truly key to a design with character, and a stage that gets results!

Rate decreases
According to Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.44%, down from 7.63% in 2023, making purchasing a home more desirable.

Market Shifts
Millennials are the largest group of homebuyers, driving demand for interior design services, and on trend designs. 40% of buyers were more willing to walk through a home they saw online, and 34% of buyers’ agents identified that staging would positively impact the home value if the home was decorated to a buyer’s taste.

Efficiency Increases
Well-designed spaces can increase productivity by 22%. Home offices, coffee shops, and co-working areas can greatly benefit from utilizing a designer.

Offer Increases
When staging a home, 20% of sellers’ agents reported an increase of 1% to 5% of the dollar value offered by buyers in comparison to similar homes. 81% of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.

Inventory Surplus
More inventory choices for consumers mean lower mortgage rates than a year ago resulting in properties typically remaining on the market for 28 days as of September 2024, up from September 2023. A stagnant property could be the result of an outdated design, or overly personalized decor.
