Need to brag on my Front Range Stage team. The year has barely begun and on top of winning THREE International awards for staging last year, we just found out we won the Best of Houzz Service Award. We create beautiful Real Estate transformations but also utilize streamlined processes, digital contracts and secure payment options to make the staging process easier from end to end. This is why Front Range Stage is THE PREMIER home staging company in Colorado Springs and surrounding areas.
In other news, according to the Wall Street Journal’s article “The Housing Market is Swinging Toward Buyers” 2 February 2026: about 62% of buyers last year purchased a home below the original list price. The average discount was around 8% which was the largest discount since 2012. The Days on Market average is now 74 days. This equates to three months of mortgage payments while houses sit on the market. Stage them for a one month mortgage payment instead.
If listing your home, do not expect a quick sale while doing nothing to your home. It’s no longer 2021…you are going to need a veteran Real Estate professional and an experienced and certified home stager to help you market your largest investment.
A move-in ready, beautifully staged and marketed home listed at the right price on day ONE will help sellers get top dollar and avoid these buyer friendly statistics.
