Home staging: A complete guide for sellers
Get your property looking its beautiful best
AI summary
Home staging can significantly increase your property's sale price, potentially by 10-15%. It involves styling your home to highlight its best features for potential buyers.
You have two main options: hire a professional stager or do it yourself. Professionals provide furniture and decor, with costs typically ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 for a four-week period.
For DIY staging, focus on:
- Decluttering and depersonalising spaces
- Finishing small repairs
- Styling rooms and outdoor areas to create inviting moments
