Home Staging Costs

Is paying for home staging worth it? How much does it cost?

Home staging is popular because it works. Buyers love a staged home. Staged homes look better in pictures and in person. However, many sellers are hesitant about paying for a home staging company because they can be quite costly. Use this home staging cost guide to understand what home staging entails, the elements of a home staging contract, and how much to expect to pay to stage your home.

How Much Will It Cost to Stage My House to Sell?

It depends.

Home staging cost depends on a few factors:

The size of the home

The length of time staging items are in place.

While your realtor is working to sell your home as quickly as possible, your days on market aren’t guaranteed, which makes renting furniture more complicated. Predicting how long it will take to sell your home is a strategy we recommend prior to listing your home, and that prediction can help you budget for a home staging service or furniture rental.

The style of the decor and availability of staging items in that style.

Midcentury Modern homes are a unique asset in the real estate market. Mid Mod properties are similar to fine art, as many buyers who appreciate the style want original finishes and are seeking matching decor. If you’re outfitting your home with Mid Century Modern pieces, you can expect to pay more than if you are using a more simple, modern aesthetic. If the furniture and decor you want are scarce in your area or in the world, the cost will be higher.
