Why Home Staging is helping beat Hong Kongs Challenging Property Market

“Home is not a place, it’s a feeling.” Alex Sheldon, The Home Stylist

The Home Stylist (THS) tell this to every one of their clients, to help them understand how important their unique personality is in styling their home. Home is not just a place, with well-lit rooms and nicely arranged furniture. Home is a feeling that you get from all these elements put together in just the right way, with just the right amount of personal touch.

But, how do we create that ‘feeling’ of home when the place in question doesn’t yet have an owner to give it personality? This is where home staging comes in, and it is much more than just nicely arranged furniture.

In Hong Kong’s current challenging and competitive residential sales and leasing market, professional property staging has become an essential ingredient in achieving success.

So what is Home Staging?

Home staging is the process of preparing a property for sale or lease with select pieces of furniture and decor. The goal of staging an otherwise empty space in this way is to help potential buyers or renters easily imagine themselves living there. By creating a feeling of ‘home’ with clever styling details, property stagers are able to sell homes for more with less time on the market.

Staged Homes Proven to Rent and Sell Quicker by up to 87%

“It is quite surprising how few people really can visualize an empty space transitioned to their own place! Done properly, home-staging a property gives landlords at least a 60% better chance of having clients walk in the door and say – ‘this is the one for me’.” According to the US National Association of Realtors, for every $100 invested in staging, the potential return is $400. “A staged home will sell for 17% more on average than a non-staged home, and 95% of staged homes sell in 11 days or less. That is statistically 87% faster than non-staged homes.”

“Properties need to present beautifully in print, online and in-person in order to achieve the best price in the shortest possible time,” says Alex. After 2 decades in the home styling and real estate realms, this is something that the THS team has seen time and time again.

“It’s important to create a home, not a showroom which is why a stylist’s eye is so crucial. Every person viewing the property needs to be able to visualize living there ”

First Impressions – Before and After Staging

Offering Diverse Furnishings to Highlight Every Type of Space

THS Property Staging team have just finished staging a 2300sqft 4Bed property in Midlevels in October 2019 on the market for HKD58 million.  For this high-end family home, THS chose furniture and decor from their preferred suppliers, including Hong Kong homeware stores Bo Concept, Tequila Kola and Australian lamp designers Bragg & Co, plus a number of their own accessories and art.

Of course, one style cannot appeal to everyone which is why THS also offers digital lookbooks of room renderings to compliment their staging services. This way they can stage one impeccable room and then take clients on a virtual tour of the rest of the property and show other design concepts.

Complete Turnkey Solutions at Every Budget

As a small agency, specializing in personal and tailored services, The Home Stylist finds a unique solution for each and every client depending on their property, their target market and their budget. As a team of project managers with a flair for design, they are not afraid to think outside the box in their quest to create that special feeling of home.

With this Mid-Levels apartment, it is clear that staging made a huge impact. The home, untouched by the owners for more than 40 years, had over 20 viewings in the first few days. 

Qi Homes have successfully partnered with THS on several projects successfully in order to help Rent and Sale apartments throughout Hong Kong. Staging is proven effective in selling the property 50% faster compared to unstaged flats. Furnishing flats with quality finishing also give the property “perceived value” explains Anthony Hindmarsh, Director of Qi Homes meaning buyers or renters are less likely to negotiate as hard. We highly recommend THS and their team of expert Interior Designers to produce the most effective results in any client’s budget. For more information please contact us at contact@qi-homes.com

Featured Property: Kingsfield Garden, Fortress Hill

The Area

Fortress Hill is an undiscovered gem, located on the harbor corner of Victoria Park and at the bottom of North Point/Braemer Hill elite school district.

It has been an overlooked area as it is between Tin Hau and North Point, but Serviced apartments Shama And Beak Residences, and the 5 star Harbour Grand have all chosen this area.  The business district on Java Road has also been part of the change.

The Fortress Hill MTR station sits on Kings Road and is accessible to the business and hotel area on the harbor front and to the residences and schools on the uphill side toward Tin Hau Temple Road

The highlight of this apartment is the distinct colonial fee with high ceilings, exposed beams, and commercial grade lighting. There is also a small balcony off the living room offering a little outdoor space. This flat is vacant and available for immediate viewing. Please contact us today to book an appointment

The North Point hill area is well established and mostly owner-occupied spacious apartments.  Kingsfield Garden, our featured property is on a small leafy quiet one-way side street aptly named Comfort Terrace.

Only 4 minutes to transport systems (MTR, bus, and tram) and all amenities and five minutes to Victoria Park

Comfort Terrace is a unique twisty road that acts as a natural sound barrier from the bustle of King’s Road and you are immediately in a quiet green area.

Kingsfield Garden is a low rise building, just 20 flats on 5 floors built-in 1975, but this size apartment so close to the MTR is extremely rare, and very few have been sold since the block was built.

The first two floors are covered carparks and a lift is accessible to all levels.

Interior Highlights

This stylish spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment has a helper room off the kitchen and a covered car park space.

The three bedrooms all have attractive built-in storage and even the smallest bedroom has room for a queen-size bed.
