Houston has provided somewhat of a departure from most of the real estate numbers of the United States. The city and surrounding area has been consistently ranked among the best markets in the nation, even when real estate isn’t thriving. Along with great statistics showing the success of the area, developers and <a href="http://www.redesignetc.com/">real estate professionals</a> are continuing to use a number of techniques in an effort to keep the market thriving. </strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>When the Houston Association of Realtors gave a return on their recent statistics, they showed improving numbers for the area. In both medium income homes and homes over $500,000 there was a heavy increase varying from 19 to 26 percent. In comparison with the rest of the United States, many areas were seeing declines of up to 40 percent. Therefore, a gain of around 22 percent in housing purchases for multiple income brackets is extremely impressive. In overall housing sales, the Houston area has only experienced a very slight drop, as the national drop was nearly 10 percent. </strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>The Houston area has consistently ranked among not only in the top ten markets in the nation, but it has also charted near the top numerous times. Recent publications such as the National Business Journal and Forbes have each listed the Houston area as one of the top performers in real estate, especially in comparison to the rest of the United States. </strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>In <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2010/02/19/best-housing-prices-personal-finance-real-estate-affordable-homes.html">Forbes’ ranking</a>, Houston was charted as the number three housing market in the nation behind Pittsburgh and Louisville. Also, Austin and Dallas charted in at the bottom of the top 10. According to a recent report by the National Business Journal, the Houston area is the strongest market for housing in the country. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are over $4 billion in private housing projects in development within the area. This is nearly 20 million more than the second place city on the list. </strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>In addition to the lofty stats that are being recorded about the local housing market, <a href="http://www.apartmentfinder.com/Texas/Houston">Houston apartment</a>, condominium and housing developers are continuing to explore new features in an effort to keep their properties on the cutting edge. Most prominently, a number of area developers are turning their focus to eco friendly building habits and amenities in their property. As far as building goes, developers are looking towards using eco friendly products throughout such as toxic free paint and insulation installations. A number of properties are also increasing sustainability through the use of solar panels, as well as looking into new additions such as rain water irrigation in an effort to improve all facets of eco friendliness. </strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Even though this is just one example of the forward thinking going on in Houston, there’s much to talk about.

Start by doing an online search for home stagers in your market and checking out some websites and information they provide. Check their portfolios.</li> <li> <a href="http://realestatestagingassociation.com%20" title="RESA website link">RESA Members</a> are great home stagers to call. RESA home stagers are committed to building not only their businesses but professional standards, education and adhering to ethical business practices. </li> <li>Make sure you ask if they are licensed and insured and get some referrals from them to follow up with. Not all home stagers are created equally.</li> </ol> </li> <li> <strong><em>I have already dismissed staging based on price</em></strong>. <ol> <li>Home Staging services do not necessarily mean expensive! Many home stagers provide very <a href="http://www.homestarstaging.com/id2.html" title="Home Star Staging Services Menu with consultations explained">cost effective and extensive home staging consultations</a>. </li> <li>Every home at any price point can benefit from a home staging consultation.  A <a href="http://www.homestarstaging.com/id2.html" title="Home Star Staging Services Menu with consultations explained">home staging consultation</a> is at the beginning of a sales transaction like a home inspection is at the end of a transaction - a necessary part of every residential real estate transaction!  We help bring the offers to the table!</li> </ol> </li> <li> <em><strong>I have no idea how it works</strong></em>. <ol> <li>When speaking to a home stager they should be able to clearly tell you how each of their services works. I encourage my Realtors to come along for at least the very first consultation so they can actually see how it works.</li> </ol> </li> <li> <strong><em>Am I expected to pay for it?</em></strong><ol> <li>No. Unless you want to provide a home staging consultation or other staging service as part of your listing package (which many agents do successfully &amp; can actually secure more listings by doing so) a Realtor is never automatically expected to pay for the services a home stager provides. It is all in how you introduce it to your clientele and how you choose to work with your home stager.</li> </ol> </li> <li> <strong><em>How can I trust you with my clients?</em></strong><ol> <li>Building rapport, trust and confidence in your home stager will take at least one try! Making the phone call or email introduction is your first step.  Not all home stagers can be everything to every client just as not all Realtors can be everything to every buyer or seller.  Just like any other business relationship, trust takes time.</li> </ol> </li> </ol> <p><strong>Feel free to post more questions and comments here.</strong></p> <p>I'm always happy to learn more about how I can assist YOU!</p> <p><em><strong>*****************************************************</strong></em></p> <p><a href="http://www.realestatestagingassociation.com/content.aspx?page_id=9&amp;club_id=304550" title="RESA Pro Info Link"><img title="Karen Otto certified RESA-Pro Stager" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/1/6/9/6/ar126772330469615.jpg" height="127" alt="RESA Pro Logo" width="300"></a><img title="Home Star Staging logo" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/7/6/7/1/ar121111902517675.jpg" height="101" alt="Home Star Staging logo" width="250"></p> <p><a href="http://homestarstaging.com/" title="Home Star Staging staging website link"><strong>Home Star Staging</strong></a> <em><strong>is a licensed, insured home staging company and we are always here for you North Texas</strong></em>!</p> <ul> <li>Affordable pre-list home staging <a href="http://homestarstaging.com/_wsn/page2.html" title="Home Star Staging Services Menu with consultation pricing"><strong>property consultations</strong></a> </li> <li>Affordable post list "trouble shooting<strong>"  </strong><a href="http://homestarstaging.com/_wsn/page2.html" title="Staging Consultation menu link - verbal and written with pricing"><strong>property consultations</strong></a> -<em> no matter how long a home has been on the market there are always ways to improve the chance of sale </em> </li> <li>Owner occupied property staging (utilizing owner supplied furniture &amp; accessories or including some of our own inventory) </li> <li>Vacant &amp; investment property staging (Full and partial rental furniture packages, accessories and staging services) </li> <li><strong>Is your office interested in hosting a home staging class or presentation?
