How Much Does It Cost to Stage a House?
Get a clear, expert answer to this common home staging question — backed by industry data and real-world pricing from agents across the country.
Traditional Home Staging Costs
Traditional staging involves renting furniture ($500–$2,000/month), hiring a staging company ($500–$1,500), plus delivery, setup, and removal. For a typical 3-bedroom home, expect $1,500–$3,000+ for a 30-day period. Luxury properties run $5,000–$10,000+. These costs come from the agent's marketing budget or the seller's pocket.
