How Much Does Home Staging Cost? 5 Ways to Save Money and Still Turn Your House into a Showcase
“Why do you think model homes sell so fast?” asks Laura Sanders, a 22-year veteran real estate agent in Coral Springs, Florida. “It’s because they’re staged. Sellers get the money they spend back and they sell quicker.”
The stats validate that you’ll increase your odds of a quick, high-offer sale if you opt to stage your home.
According to HomeLight’s End of Year 2023 Top Agent Insights Report, 67% of agents say staging is helping to sell homes, and 31% of those agents label staging as “essential for a sale.” Additionally, well-staged homes sell for 13% more on average. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) 2023 Profile of Home Staging reports that 27% of agents stated that homes staged before listing spent less time on the market than unstaged homes.
With all those figures in favor of home staging, hiring a pro sounds like a paying proposition. Home staging can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of your home and the amount of staging your home needs. Before you can determine the level of staging that’s right for you, you’ll first want to understand what professional stagers actually do.
