There are a lot of studies done by agencies like Realtor.org, HomeGain, HomeAdvisor, where the home staging costs came out to be less than a $1000. (In National Association of Realtors’ 2015 Profile of Home Staging, it states that the median dollar value to stage a home is $675 for each home.) That’s because most of these studies does not include investment for services like painting, basic landscaping, etc., or just by including a home stager’s consultation time.
