Home staging might initially seem like an unnecessary expense when selling a property, but it can significantly increase the selling price. Here’s a breakdown of the costs and benefits associated with staging your home:
Staging Estimated Costs:
◦ Initial design consultation: $300 to $600.
◦ Monthly staging per room: $500 to $600.
◦ Example: Staging a 2,000-square-foot home could cost approximately $2,000 to $2,400 per month, with a typical three-month contract totaling around $7,200.
Factors Affecting Staging Costs:
◦ Use of homeowner’s existing items vs. purchasing new accessories such as towels and flowers.
◦ Layout challenges, such as multistory homes, may require additional labor.
◦ Costs for renting furniture for vacant properties or storage for excess items.
DIY Staging Tips:
◦ Focus on key areas like the kitchen, living room, dining room, and primary bedroom.
◦ Create a welcoming first impression as buyers step inside.
◦ Declutter to highlight space and allow buyers to envision themselves in the home.
◦ Consider a staging consultation for targeted advice, typically around $125 for 90 minutes.
Remember, staged homes often sell faster and for a higher price, making this investment potentially worthwhile. If you have further questions, contact me for personalized advice (858) 345-0685.
