Staging Beats Price Cuts A 3 June 2025 report shows staged homes sell 88 percent faster and for up to 20 percent more than listings left bare. Buyers decide in the first seven photos. In Lakeview this month, a seller who spent $4,200 on neutral furniture, fresh greenery, and warm lighting landed three offers by day two, while the unstaged neighbor is still waiting at day 12 even after a $10,000 price drop. Staging cues move-in-ready confidence, slashes holding costs, and protects equity, so treat it as marketing, not décor, and have it in place before the photographer arrives.
