Twenty years in the biz has Jay Nuhring convinced: Home styling is a must.
A perfect arrangement of furniture, art, and décor can help buyers envision themselves in a space, he says, and it can also impact a home’s perceived value. “If the perception is that the house is much greater than the price, our chances of having a successful transaction are much greater,” says Nuhring.
Styling ranges from about $1,500 to $7,500 (homeowners usually pay), and traditional staging, which often involves rental furniture, generally costs $5,000-plus.
Nuhring maintains that any home can benefit from styling, even unassuming pads south of $300,000.
Homeowners can prep by adding a fresh coat of paint, buffing dull wood floors, and updating a few choice pieces of furniture.
