Two Months on the Market. Then Full Price in 12 Days After Staging.

This North San Antonio home went under contract just 12 days after it was relaunched with staging, and it sold for its full $818,900 list price. The best part? Before we got the call, it had already spent about two months on the market.

We love a fresh start. And this home got a great one.

A Good Home That Needed a Fresh Start

Before staging, this home had been listed for about two months. Along the way it saw more than one price reduction and a change in brokerage, and it still hadn't found its buyer. 

That happens more often than you might think. A home can be lovely and well cared for and still sit, simply because buyers scrolling through photos of empty rooms can't picture themselves living there.

When Cristina Garcia of Kuper Sotheby's International Realty took on the listing, she brought in BY Design to stage the home before it went back on the market.

Giving Buyers Something to Picture

Matt, one of our lead stagers, staged the home in early July. With about 2,800 square feet of empty rooms, our job was to help buyers see how every space could work for them.

When a home is vacant, buyers are left guessing. How big is the living room, really? Will a king bed fit? Where does the dining table go? Home staging answers those questions before anyone has to ask them.

Same home. A fresh launch. A whole new first impression.

So, How Did This North San Antonio Home Sell?

The home went back on the market about a week after staging. Twelve days later, it was under contract, with no more price cuts.

• Listed at: $818,900
• Under contract: 12 days after listing
• Price reductions after staging: None
• Sold for: $818,900, 100% of list price

Full price. In under two weeks. After two long months, that's a result worth celebrating!

We loved partnering with Cristina on this one. She saw what the home needed and made it happen, and we're so glad we got to be part of the turnaround.

A Little About the Neighborhood

The home sits in a gated lakeside community in North San Antonio, where small lakes at the heart of the neighborhood make for easy evening walks and jogs. Homes here are served by North East ISD, including Huebner Elementary, Eisenhower Middle School and Churchill High School.

In a community like this, buyers already love the setting. Staging makes sure the inside of the home makes the same strong first impression.

When Your Listing Needs a Fresh Start

If a home has been sitting, it doesn't mean something is wrong with it. Sometimes buyers just can't see it yet.

Home staging gives them a new way to look at the same rooms. And sometimes, that's all it takes to go from weeks of waiting to a full-price offer.
