Homes that are staged sell for an average of 1-5% more than non-staged homes (Real Estate Staging Association). Staged homes typically spend 73% less time on the market. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 82% of buyers’ agents said staging made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home. The most important rooms to stage, according to buyers’ agents, are the living room (93%), master bedroom (86%), and kitchen (84%). Staging can cost between $2,000 – $6,000 for a professionally staged home in Florida. Sellers can expect an ROI of 5-15% on their staging investment. Decluttering and depersonalizing are critical first steps in staging. Neutral color palettes and maximizing natural light are often recommended for Florida homes.
