When you buy a house, it is generally not included in the purchase price to keep the staging furniture and products. Staging a house refers to the process of decorating and furnishing a home to make it more appealing to potential buyers. The cost of home staging can vary, with an average cost of $1,150 in the United States. This cost can include an initial consultation, rearranging fee, service fee, staging fee, and possibly a furniture rental fee. Home staging companies aim to increase the appeal of homes for sale, which can lead to a higher selling price. However, when you buy a house, the staging furniture and products are typically not included in the sale and must be returned to the staging company or the seller.
