Home Staging Statistics 



Research has shown that:

  • Only 1 in 10 home buyers can actually visualize the potential of a home.

  • Staged properties sell on average in one month or less, as compared to the national average of 161 days on the market!

  • Staging offers over 300 percent return on investment, significantly higher than the return on making repairs or renovations to a home.

  • Staged homes sell for an average of 7% more than un-Staged homes, which means an extra $21,000 on the sale of a $300,000 home!

NAR  Supports Investment in Staging

Staging is the only service done in preparation of the house for sale that brings you MEASURABLE VALUE.  In fact there is a measurable rate of return on Staging.

In 2008, the National Association of Realtors reported that the average price reduction is now between 10-20% for a house on the market.

$250,000 house = $25,000-$50,000
$500,000 house = $50,000-$100,000
$750,000 house = $75,000-$150,000

"The Investment in Staging is always far less than a price reduction."

  • The average investment to Stage an occupied house
       where the Seller does most of the prep work is $500.

  • The average investment to Stage an occupied house
       where the Stager does all the work is $1500.

  • The average investment to Stage an average size
       vacant house is $3000.

The Bottom Line …
INVEST $500-$3,000 in Staging or give up $20,000 or more in unnecessary price reductions?
