Virtual Staging in Austin

Studies show that staged properties sell for 17% more money and 87% faster than non-staged properties. Buyers think differently about a home when they can see it at its full potential, instead of just a boring, empty space. However, there are some serious obstacles to home staging, like the massive costs, time limits, logistics, and design limits.

Traditional home staging (or “physical” home staging) in Austin costs a minimum of $1,500 for the first month however, there are a lot of exceptions to this rule. In fact, you’ll find many prices of home staging well beyond five figures.

The price of staging your home will ultimately depend on the size of your home and the number of rooms you get staged. You can safely expect to pay about 1% of the sale price of your home for physical home staging in Austin.

What happens when you need a listing to sell quickly? You might be in trouble. Physical home staging is an extremely labor-intensive job, requiring stagers to juggle many logistics at one time. It will take an absolute minimum of one week to get any home staged. On the other hand, placing a virtual staging order is done in under 5 minutes, and your photos are staged in 24 hours.

Finally, the biggest problem with traditional home staging is the design limitations.

When you stage a home with physical furniture, the staging company can only choose from the furniture and decor that is available at the exact time of staging. If the physical inventory is low, so are your staging choices.

And for mid or high-rise condos and apartments or large Queen Anne homes with multiple levels and winding stairs, it isn’t exactly a breeze to move large couches in and out of the space.

In the end, staging companies are forced to choose furniture that is logistically easy to move, even if it isn’t the best choice for the property.

This is why virtual staging is such a great alternative to traditional home staging. You can save money, increase the home’s value, stage a home in 24 hours, and ultimately do your job even better.
