Is Professional Home Staging Worth the Cost?
Home staging has become a "must-do" for many sellers, as 82% of buyer's agents said home staging makes it easier for prospective buyers to visualize the property as a future home.1 Staged homes have also historically sold faster and for more money than those that are not staged.2 Let's dive into the benefits of staging, the costs of having a company stage your home, and why for many sellers it is worth the cost.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Home staging is the curated furnishing and prepping of a home that is for sale on the real estate market.
- The goal of home staging is to create a believable, clean, attractive living space that buyers can envision living in.
- Proponents say that staging a home can increase a home's selling price and the likelihood that it will sell quickly as it helps prospective buyers better imagine how they can use the livable space.
- Staging, however, comes with a cost: you will have to pay the stager as well as pay for the rental for furnishings and home accents while the house remains unsold.
- While many have benefit from professional home stagers, you can choose to stage your home by yourself or rely on some feedback from your real estate agent.
