Staging your home involves cleaning, decluttering, and depersonalizing the space. It may also include improving curb appeal by pulling weeds, for example. The goal is to create a neutral, inviting environment that appeals to a wide range of buyers. According to a 2024 article from REALTOR® magazine, staged homes sell for 25% more than those without staging, underscoring the significant return on investment this strategy can provide.
Four of five buyer’s agents reported that their buyers found it easier to visualize the property as their future home when the property was staged.

Home staging is the process of getting a home ready for sale by helping buyers envision their life there. This process uses furniture to help create a visual representation of each room. Stagers also work on de-cluttering and de-personalizing a home, making it more neutral for potential buyers. Home staging motivates a buyer to make a swift offer.
Yes, it really works. A staged property spends an average of 73% less time on the market. Staging works because it gives potential buyers the chance to visualize themselves living in your home. A professionally staged home spends 73% less time on the market compared to properties that are not staged.
When a house is staged properly, it turns the viewing experience into a home that buyers can visualize themselves living in. Giving each room a purpose helps potential buyers understand how they could utilize every space. Another reason why staging proves to be effective is that it makes your property stand out online. REALTOR.ca is the powerhouse of online listings. When looking to buy a house, people begin an online search, which means pictures are the first thing they see. When your home is cleaned, de-cluttered, furniture appropriately set up, with tasteful decor throughout, your listing will get much more traction.
Absolutely not. While it might be easier to stage with a clean slate, it’s a myth that you need to have an empty house to stage it properly. You can use your existing furniture and decor to stage your home. We offer free home staging in Edmonton and Calgary whether your house is vacant or not. Should you be living in your house while your property is listed, we will set up a staging consultation with you to game plan how to best stage your home with what you already have.
Yes! Your home should make an unforgettable first impression, as your listing will be up against many others. As we mentioned, online search is critical for real estate listings. Since pictures are such an important piece of that puzzle, you want to ensure that your home puts its best foot forward. Both for online and in-person viewings. When potential buyers see your home is staged and clean, they’ll be calling their real estate professional to set up a viewing.
The pricing will vary depending on which staging company you use. Generally, though, the average cost is around $500-$600 per month for each staged room. Keep in mind that it does not include the initial consultation cost. The good news is that Realty Unleashed offers home staging in Edmonton and Calgary for free!

Staged properties tend to sell for the list price and sometimes even above it. When they walk into a staged property, potential buyers find it easier to look over material issues like a sub-par paint job. In fact, 20% of buyers’ agents noted that home staging increased the dollar value offered by between 1%-5% compared with homes that hadn’t been staged. This is especially true in a hot market that moves quickly.
