Staging your home can dramatically improve its appeal and increase its market value. However, pricing can vary significantly based on factors such as the property’s size, the number of rooms to be staged, and any special access requirements like staircases, elevators, or limited loading zones. Our Home Staging Cost Calculator helps you estimate staging costs upfront, so you can better plan your budget before contacting a designer.
Our interactive calculator simplifies the process of estimating home staging costs. By selecting your property type, the number of rooms to be staged, and any unique features (e.g., stairs, elevator, etc.), you will instantly receive an estimated staging cost.

Home staging is the process of preparing a property for sale by strategically arranging furniture, décor, and sometimes making minor repairs to enhance the home’s appeal. The goal is to make the property look inviting, spacious, and functional, helping prospective buyers imagine themselves living there. Whether the home is vacant or occupied, staging creates a positive emotional connection with buyers, often leading to quicker sales and higher offers.
Staging costs can range depending on the size of your home, the number of rooms, and the duration of the staging. Below are the typical ranges:
Single Family Homes: The average cost to stage a single-family home in Los Angeles is between $3,000 and $10,000. Smaller homes or condos that don’t require staging of many rooms may cost closer to $3,000, while larger 2-3 bedroom homes typically fall around $8,000 for a 3-month staging period. Staging fees can exceed $10,000 for larger properties with special requirements.
Condos, Townhomes, and Duplexes: The average cost to stage a large condo, duplex, or townhome is between $4,500 and $6,500, with the average being around $5,500. The cost is influenced by factors such as the size of the unit, whether there are stairs or an elevator, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and how long furniture needs to be rented.
Several factors influence the cost of home staging, including the size of the property, the number of rooms to be staged, and any unique challenges such as staircases, elevators, or limited access.
Luxury homes or properties in competitive markets like Southern California may incur higher staging costs due to the additional time, effort, and premium furnishings required. Understanding these factors can help you budget appropriately and get a more accurate estimate for your staging project.
