Spaces That Leave the Biggest Impression on Buyers
In today’s market, buyers have more choices than ever - which means presenting your home in the best possible light is key. Thoughtful staging can make all the difference.
What Is Home Staging?
Staging isn’t about making your home look trendy or magazine-perfect. It’s about creating a space that feels welcoming and move-in ready, so buyers can easily imagine themselves living there.
Staging can range from simple, budget-friendly tweaks to more elaborate setups, depending on your needs. Even small investments of time, effort, and money can have a meaningful impact, especially when every detail counts in a competitive market.
A study from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows that staged homes often sell faster and for more money than those that aren’t staged at all.
Which Rooms Matter Most?
You don’t have to stage every room to make a strong impression. According to NAR, the spaces that buyers notice most are where they spend the majority of their time:
While this gives a useful general guide, nothing replaces the insight of a local agent who knows what buyers are looking for in your specific neighborhood.
How an Agent Can Help
Local agents hear first-hand feedback from buyers during showings, tours, and walkthroughs. That experience allows them to give expert guidance on what your home truly needs. Typical staging advice might include:
Decluttering and depersonalizing by removing personal photos and items
Rearranging furniture to improve flow and make rooms feel larger
Adding plants, moving art, or updating accessories
For homes that need more transformation - or are empty and could benefit from rented furniture - a skilled agent can determine if a professional stager is worth considering. According to NAR:
“The median dollar value spent when using a staging service was $1,500, compared to $500 when the sellers’ agent personally staged the home.”
A great agent will help you weigh the costs, your timeline, and your goals, while also factoring in what similar homes are selling for in your area.
