Depends on the price point of the property, price point of the staging and what the market demands. I typically do not stage on properties $450k and under....$500-$600k it depends on the property, and $700k and over I do. (Median price in my market is $500k)

I got some quotes on a house staging, it was $350/month for a couch, side chair, dining table with 4 chairs and a couple of accent tables and pieces. I think it would make a huge difference, but the price seems steep. This was from Cort Furniture. I would think if you are in it for the long term, and have the storage space, it would be worth having your own items and hire a couple of kids to set it up.

Staging or Not?

As we continue to moved down the rehab world, my wife and I are having a discussion. Should we stage the house once we are done or not? Thoughts and Inuit would be great. And also, what is a good price to have a house staged as part of the open house? Thanks
