Why is Staging so Important?

Staging isn’t an expense—it’s an investment with serious payoff. The cost of staging is typically less than your first price reduction. According to RESA and Realtor.com, homes staged before listing can deliver an ROI between 5% and 15%, with some exceeding 1,000% in competitive markets. Sellers often see $400+ return for every $100 spent, and many staged homes sell for up to 25% over asking.

Greater Return on Investment

Less Time on the Market

The numbers don’t lie: staged homes spend significantly less time on the market. From RESA’s insights showing 73% faster sales, to NAR’s report that 49% of agents see reduced market time with staging, speed is a proven perk. Staging before listing boosts visibility and interest—many staged homes fly off the market in under 30 days, often with multiple offers.

Buyer Connection

Staging doesn’t just beautify a space—it helps buyers feel at home. According to NAR, 83% of buyer agents say staging makes it easier to envision life in a property. Realtor.com highlights that 40% of buyers are more likely to tour a staged home they saw online. It's not about perfection—it’s about possibility. A thoughtfully styled space makes the dream tangible.

    I highly recommend Angi’s home staging and design services! I preferred a virtual appointment and it was everything — Angi didn’t miss a step. Her customer service is excellent, and she is warm, attentive, and truly cares about her clients. She took the time to walk through each space and then thoughtfully provided a written list of recommendations for every single room. Her eye for design and clear direction made it so easy for me to move forward with confidence. If you’re looking for someone who delivers professional results with top-notch customer care, Angi is the one! One happy blessed customer!

    "Working with Angi was wonderful from start to finish. She has great vision, was professional and very easy to work with. She made each room feel warm, welcoming and perfectly styled to appeal to all buyers. From the front porch to the back door, our home looked and smelled beautiful. We sold it to the very first buyer that saw it! That really speaks to how important home staging is. If you want to sell your home quickly and for top dollar, do not hesitate to hire Merriment by Design. Worth every penny and then some!"
