Home Staging Drives Sales

Why Stage?

Staging Helps Homes Sell Faster

Homes that are professionally staged spend significantly less time on the market—up to 73% less, according to industry data. That means fewer carrying costs like mortgage payments, utilities, and HOA fees.

  • Staged homes sell 33–50% faster than non-staged homes.

  • 31% of agents say staging directly reduces days on market.

  • A well-staged home avoids sitting too long and raising red flags for buyers.

Staging Can Increase Your Sale Price

Staging doesn’t just make your home look better—it can actually make it worth more in buyers' eyes.

  • 85% of staged homes sell for 5–23% over asking price.

  • 22% of agents saw a 1–5% price bump, and another 14% saw increases up to 10%.

  • One study showed 46% of 3,500 staged homes sold for 10% more than comparable unstaged listings.

  • National data even suggests staged homes can sell for up to 25% more than non-staged ones.

Buyers Notice the Difference

Staging helps buyers see themselves living in the home. It turns a space into a story—and that emotional connection drives action.

  • 82% of buyers’ agents said staging made it easier for buyers to visualize the property as their future home.

  • 47% reported that staging had a positive impact on buyers’ perception of the home.

  • 40% of buyers are more likely to tour a home they saw staged online.

  • When the staging matches their taste, 34% of buyers perceive the home as more valuable.
