Is Staging a Property Worth It?

What do I need to do to stand out in the luxury market?

In New York City’s luxury real estate market, presentation isn’t optional — it’s strategic. High-end buyers aren’t just purchasing square footage; they’re buying a lifestyle. Professional staging helps tell that story from the very first impression.

What the Data Shows

Staging consistently delivers measurable results:

  • According to the Real Estate Staging Association, staged homes sell for an average of 107%–109% of list price and often command higher offers than unstaged properties.

  • The National Association of Realtors reports that nearly 50% of agents say staging significantly reduces days on market, and close to 30% see price increases of 1%–10%.

In the luxury segment, these benefits are amplified — buyers expect spaces to feel curated, refined, and move-in ready.

Why It Matters in the Luxury Market

Luxury buyers shop visually and emotionally. Staging highlights architectural details, improves flow, and helps buyers envision how a space lives at scale. Well-staged properties photograph better, attract more qualified showings, and create stronger perceived value — all critical for achieving top-tier pricing.

The Bottom Line

Staging isn’t décor — it’s marketing. For luxury properties, it’s often the difference between a listing that lingers and one that sells quickly and confidently. When done well, staging is less an expense and more an investment in a stronger outcome.
