Get your property looking its beautiful best
AI summary
Home staging can significantly boost your property's sale price by highlighting its best features. It helps buyers envision themselves living in the space, potentially adding 10-15% to your final offer.
You can hire a professional stager, typically costing $1,500-$5,000 for a 4-5 week furniture and decor package, or choose the DIY route. Key DIY tips include:
- Decluttering and depersonalising
- Finishing small repair jobs
- Styling outdoor areas to improve street appeal and create inviting spaces.
