Virtual Staging in San Jose

Staged properties sell for 17% more money and 87% faster than non-staged properties. The median home price in San Jose is $1,085,000–making it the most expensive housing market in the United States and the fifth most expensive housing market in the world! With all this expensive real estate, your property needs to stand out. However, physical home staging presents a few major obstacles.

Home stagers in San Jose have prices starting at about $2,500 all the way up to $25,000 or even past six figures for specialty homes. If you are listing one of the many homes throughout San Jose that were built in the 50s or 60s and are between 1,000-2,000 square feet, it’s likely that your costs will be somewhere between $2,500 and $10,000.

Keep in mind that many home staging companies require a three-month contract, regardless of how quickly the home sells.

Do you need the property to move quickly? Traditional staging takes a bare minimum of one week. You’ll have to contact the staging company, schedule a consultation, wait for their price, and finally schedule the staging.

What’s an even bigger obstacle to staging than the price? The design limitations of traditional home staging!

When you work with a physical home staging company, they only have certain pieces to choose from at the time of listing. Plus, there are logistics to consider.

There’s much more risk of damage involved when teams of people are moving large objects in and out of homes. Therefore, stagers don’t choose large or expensive furniture pieces if they aren’t sure they’ll make it up sets of stairs or through multiple hallways and doorways.

Your staging company will be forced to choose furniture that is physically easy to move, even if it isn’t the best style for the property.

But you can still reap the benefits of home staging without spending unnecessary money, risking damage, and limiting your design choices! That’s where virtual staging comes in.

Virtual home staging allows you to display the home’s full potential to both renters and buyers--without the logistical nightmare.

Not only do you receive a beautifully staged room to highlight your listing, but one that is optimized for selling real estate.
