According to a NAR (National Association of Realtors) study from 2020, 82% of buyers’ agents said that staging a house made it simpler for a buyer to picture it as their future home. There is an obvious and growing advantage to professionally staging your clients’ homes, regardless of whether you are just starting your real estate company or have been selling homes for some time.
However, it can be difficult to visually stage a home today. Real estate was not an exception to the shift caused by the pandemic away from in-person visits and toward more virtual options. Because of this and the fact that virtual staging is frequently quicker and less expensive than traditional staging, it is growing in popularity.
Here, we’ll go over the specifics of virtual staging, including what it is, how much it usually costs, and whether it’s worthwhile for you to consider it while shooting your real estate photos.
Virtual Staging
A graphic editor is used to create a simulated, usually photorealistic interior design in a living space as part of the home staging process known as virtual staging. For real estate agents, photographers, and interior designers, it’s frequently a more affordable, low-touch option than traditional staging.
As previously stated, virtual staging is frequently more affordable than traditional staging, but how much money can you save? And is the expense justified?
How much does virtual staging cost?
Virtual setup costs vary depending on the service. It also depends on how many rooms need to be staged, how much space you want to fill, and how quickly you need the photos.
Virtual staging generally costs between $30 and $150 per image, though different vendors may charge more or less depending on their level of expertise.
