To Stage or Not to Stage in Today’s Hot Market

I

f someone had told me in early 2020 that COVID-19 would impact our local real estate market so dramatically, I don’t think I would have believed them. How could a global pandemic with varying levels of stayat-home and/or social distancing orders in effect for over one year (not to mention millions of people unemployed and 500,000+ deaths in the U.S.) translate into a housing boom for our area?

As how and where we work has shifted and with more employees working remotely, the local markets have seen a significant increase in out-of-area buyers, many of whom are coming from the Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, and other metropolitan areas. This increase in buyers, coupled with fewer homes coming on the market in recent months, translates into, well, a great time to sell and a rise in home selling prices. In fact, the median home selling price in Santa Barbara jumped 20 percent from 2019 to 2020.

In today’s market, buyers need to move quickly and are more likely driven by emotions. But I also believe buyers come with expectations, and getting the best offers means tapping into their emotions while meeting their expectations.

Here’s how home staging can play a critical role in both meeting expectations and striking an emotional connection with potential buyers:

home staging is now the norm. Buyers may think that if the seller didn’t bother to stage it, what else have they neglected to do?

(1) Many buyers expect to see a home staged. Here’s a

(5) Don’t leave money on the table. According to a 2020

little more about our out-of-area buyer: If they’re coming from many parts of the Bay Area, L.A., or N.Y.C.,

(2) Gets them thinking about family dinners. When prices are high, buyers

are less likely to have funds for renovation. When a room is staged, buyers tend to think about the family dinners around the dining table instead of just focusing on the outdated kitchen that they can’t afford to renovate right away.

and 75 percent of sellers saw a return of investment of 5-15 percent. Sellers who forego staging can end up leaving a lot of money on the table.

(3) Helps buyers feel confident. In an

empty room, buyers may find it difficult to know where to place their furniture.

The more questions a buyer has, the more uncertain they may become about purchasing your home.

(4) Rooms feel larger with furniture in it. Many people think a room looks

larger with no furniture in it, but it’s just the opposite. Rooms actually appear smaller when empty. Staging helps buyers know that their sectional or king bed will fit in a room. report by the Real Estate Staging Association, 85 percent of staged homes sold between 5-23 percent over list price,

To be fair, not all homes require staging in order to impress buyers. If a home is already furnished with updated, light-colored furniture and décor that is proportional to the room, then skip the staging and invest time in decluttering and adding a fresh coat of paint both inside and out.

The Biophilic Buzz

B

iophilia. What does this strange word mean? Studies have shown that all three mind-body systems — cognitive, psychological, and physiological — are impacted by one’s environment. This is where biophilic design comes in: using evidencebased design to ensure that people’s health and well-being are not only maintained, but even improved by their environments.

(1) Visual Connection with Nature. Viewing scenes of nature stimulates a large portion of the brain’s visual cortex, which triggers more pleasure receptors in our brain.

Establish a view to elements of nature, living systems, and natural processes such as through a window or balcony, and arrange furniture to maximize views. Heart rate recovery has shown to occur 1.6 times faster when a space has a glass window with a nature view versus a high-quality simulation, such as a video, of the same nature view, or no view at all.

Our sight is not the only way we perceive our surroundings. Exposure to nature sounds, when compared to urban or office noise, accelerates physiological and psychological restoration up to 37 percent faster after a psychological stressor. These sounds can also reduce cognitive fatigue and help increase motivation. Incorporating nature sounds and aromatherapy into a space aren’t just reserved for a spa anymore! Participants of one study who either listened to river sounds or saw a nature movie with river sounds during a posttask restoration period reported having more energy and greater motivation after the restoration period compared to participants who only listened to office noise or silence. In addition, viewing a nature movie with river sounds during the restoration period had a more positive affect than only listening to river sounds alone. Combining methods makes the positive impact even greater. The act of touching pets and real plant life, versus synthetic plants, has shown to induce relaxation through a change in cerebral blood flow rates.

(4) Presence of Water. The sounds created by small-scale running water, and our capacity to touch it, are healing.

Vistas to large bodies of water or physical access to natural or designed water bodies also have healing effects so long as they are perceived as “clean” or unpolluted. Images of nature that include water are also more likely to help reduce blood pressure and heart rate than similar imagery without water.

(5) Dynamic & Diffuse Light. In nature we

encounter varying intensities of light and shadow that change over time. Sunlight changes color from yellow in the morning, to blue at midday, and red in the afternoon/ evening. The changes affect our body temperature, heart rate, and even circadian functioning. Higher content of blue light produces serotonin; whereas an absence of blue light (which occurs later in the day and at night) produces melatonin. The balance of serotonin and melatonin are linked to sleep quality, mood, alertness, depression, breast cancer, and other health conditions.

It’s exciting to see growth in both research and application of biophilic design practices, especially as we continue to spend many hours indoors. The even better news is that every space can be improved with some, or all, of these biophilic design principles.

The 5 Most Important Aspects of Biophilic Design

(2) Nonvisual Connection with Nature.

(3) Thermal & Airflow Variability. People like moderate levels of sensory variability in the environment, including variation in light, sound, and temperature.

Even subtle changes in air temperature, relative humidity, airflow across the skin, or surface temperatures can help to mimic natural environments. Consider how welcome a cool breeze is on a hot sunny day, or a rest upon a warm rock on a chilly afternoon. Providing variable seating options with differing levels of solar heat gain indoors and outdoors, or proximity to windows, can create opportunities for these moments of change, thus improving the overall satisfaction of a space.

he multifamily housing market for Santa Barbara continues to adjust in order to deal with the ongoing pandemic. Strong demand for apartments has helped keep vacancy numbers compressed but we have seen some easing of that with the delivery of several new development projects and there are still more that are under construction. Currently, according to CoStar apartment vacancy stands at 4.4% while rent growth has actually declined by .5% over the last twelve months. We attribute this to property owners and tenants working out rent reductions to cope with COVID and fewer tenants looking to make moves during COVID. While larger projects from the Towbes Group and John Price in Goleta are in the pipeline we have many smaller projects under way in Santa Barbara that are being built under the Average Unit Density (AUD) program.

We could see that vacancy level rise slightly, closer
