Is Home Staging Worth It?
Short answer: in most cases, yes. Here's what the numbers say about whether home staging is worth it.
Is Home Staging Worth It? What the Data Shows
From the National Association of Realtors' 2025 Profile of Home Staging:
- 83% of buyers' agents say staging helps buyers picture the home as their own
- Nearly half of agents say staged homes sell faster
- About 3 in 10 agents saw a 1% to 10% increase in home value
The Quick Math
On a 1 million dollar condo, a 1% higher offer is 10,000 dollars. That alone can cover the cost of staging. See what goes into the cost.
When Home Staging Is Worth It Most
- Vacant homes
- Tricky or unusual layouts
- New development
- Luxury listings
- Listings that have been sitting
What Buyers Remember
Buyers don't fall for empty rooms. They fall for a home they can see themselves living in. That's what we design for.
