The Arrival Bridge loan affords homeowners the ability to leverage the equity in their home, making it faster and easier to get into their new home, but did you know that, once their previous home is vacant, the homeowner can potentially sell for more money by simply not living in it? Furthermore, the sale price could be substantially higher if the home is staged for prospective homebuyers.
According to the International Association of Home Staging Professionals (IAHSP), staged homes sell faster and at a higher price than homes left vacant or decorated with the current owners’ personal effects.
- Staged homes comprised more than 20% of the total home sales in 2023, meaning nearly 1 in 5 homes sold in the U.S. that year were staged.
- Over 60% of realtors surveyed believe home staging helps sell the property for up to 10% more.
- Over 80% of potential home buyers reported that, when viewing a staged home, it’s easier to imagine themselves living in that property.
- Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation conducted a survey that found staged homes sell for over 6% or more above the asking price.
- Our Bridge loan can offer your clients the maximum profit potential and financial freedom to purchase their new home, move in, settle, and then stage their old home for sale at top dollar!
This is just one example of how Arrival’s industry-leading bridge loan product can be an effective tool in your arsenal to get more deals closed!

The statistical data is based on averages and may not apply to every situation. The actual difference in sale price between a vacant, lived-in, or staged home can vary depending on the location, condition of the home, and other factors.
