Determining Your Budget
- Home Size: Larger homes cost more to stage.
- Market Conditions: A hot market may justify a larger investment.
- Home's Condition: Factor in any needed repairs (We covered this in detail in our previous blog).
- Staging Options: DIY, partial, or professional (A professional stager would need your house to be completely empty before signing up for work).
- Potential ROI: Will staging increase your sale price (in our experience, it does, but be mindful of the upfront expense)?
Yuba City Success Stories
In our experience, staged homes sell for $10,000 - $20,000 more than unstaged homes. They usually also sell faster (more eyes on the house means more offers and a quicker sale).
