Home staging: A complete guide for sellers
Get your property looking its beautiful best
AI summary
Home staging can significantly boost your property's sale price, potentially by 10-15%, by styling it to attract buyers. You can either hire a professional or take a DIY approach.
Professional stagers typically charge $1,500-$5,000 for a 4-5 week period, which includes furniture and decor hire. If staging yourself, focus on:
- Decluttering and depersonalising
- Finishing small repairs
- Creating appealing "moments" for buyers
- Enhancing outdoor areas and street appeal
