What Does Home Staging Cost in Toronto?

Home staging in Toronto typically costs from $2,500 upwards for a full home, depending on whether the home is vacant or occupied, its size, and how long the furniture stays in place. Occupied homes usually cost less than vacant homes because we style around what you already own. Vacant homes cost more because we bring in all the furniture, art and accessories. Partial staging and home styling can cost less, depending on the home and which rooms need attention. Every project is different, so we quote each one individually.

Nestiny Design is a home staging business serving real estate agents and private clients across Toronto, including The Beach, Riverdale, Leslieville, East York, Leaside, Rosedale, Birchcliff, the Junction and Parkdale.

What affects the cost of staging a home?

• Vacant or occupied. Vacant homes need full furniture rental, delivery and installation. Occupied homes mostly need styling, and sometimes a few rental pieces.

• Square footage and number of rooms. More rooms means more furniture, art and accessories.

• Which rooms are staged. Many sellers stage only the living room, kitchen and primary bedroom, where buyers form their first impression.

• Length of the listing. Furniture is rented. After [60] days, [monthly rental terms].

• Access and timing. [Stairs, elevator bookings, rush installs, if they affect your pricing.]

Is home staging worth the cost?

Staging is usually a small fraction of what a price reduction costs, and it works before the first showing rather than after a listing goes stale. A staged home photographs better, which matters because most buyers see the listing online first. In one recent Rouge neighbourhood project, a Nestiny-staged home sold over asking.
