How Much Does it Cost to Stage My Home?

What does it cost? What is it going to cost me? How much?
These are the first three questions people ask when they have to consider any possible work action. It’s no different with home Staging. Once you have realized it is the smartest thing to do in your quest to sell your home – you might start to wonder what the cost will be…Here are a few considerations that you should maul over when you start to think of the budget.

1. Is your home occupied or vacant? This is a major factor…and will affect the cost either way. Empty homes are easier to stage, but nearly always require more heavy lifting, more furniture, more artwork and more accessories than occupied homes.


2. How large is the house? Bigger isn’t always better, but it is safe to assume that a larger home will require a proportionally larger investment in Staging. The more spaces to stage, the more time and effort required to properly complete the job, the more the Staging fee will be.


3. How much work is there to be done? This question goes hand-in-hand with the above issues. Home Staging can be incredibly labor intensive, and labor (and sweat) do deserve to be acknowledged and compensated.


4. How much furniture is needed? Again, this is a labor-intensive issue. Using items from the Stager’s inventory will result in a monthly fee that is dependent upon how much you need to use as well as the size, style and quality of pieces required.

Don’t let this post put you into a panic. The cost for home Staging always pays for itself – in a better sale price and a quicker sale. A good home Stager will absolutely work with you on your budget, and find a way to make your home shine. You won’t regret your decision. I’m just giving you these details as something to think about…something to remember when you are making the best decision of your home sale!
