How much does home staging cost in Brisbane?

Home staging in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast starts at $3,900 for a vacant property and $4,100 for an integrated stage, where you are still living in the home. All figures include GST.

Here is what Foxy charges by property size:

• 1 bed unit – from $3,900
• 2 bed unit – from $4,100
• 3 bed unit – from $4,300
• 4 bed, 1 living – from $4,700
• 4 bed, 2 living – from $5,700
• 5 bed, 2 living – from $6,100
• 5 bed, 3 living – from $7,500

Most sellers land somewhere around $4,700. Prices vary with the floor plan and with items added or removed, so the only accurate number is the one on your quote.

What affects the price?

Four things move the number:

• Property size. More rooms means more furniture and more accessories.
• Vacant or integrated. A vacant home needs everything. Integrated staging works with some of your existing pieces, which usually brings the cost down.
• Style and target market. Prestige and lifestyle properties often need more specific furniture and accessories.
• Access. Stairs, narrow streets, rooftop units and difficult driveways all affect what it takes to get furniture in.

What is included?

Foxy quotes are all-inclusive. Every quote covers:

• All furniture, artwork, rugs, lighting and accessories
• Delivery, installation and professional styling
• An 8-week hire period, 4 weeks paid plus 4 weeks free
• Pack-up and removal once the property sells or the campaign ends
• Insurance on hired furniture for fire and theft

There is no separate delivery fee, no styling fee on top, and no travel surcharge for Gold Coast properties.

How long does the hire period last?

Eight weeks. Four weeks paid, then four weeks free.

That covers most sales campaigns from photography through to settlement, including valuation, building and pest, and final inspections. If your property takes longer, you can extend, and the rates are set out in your terms.

What are the payment options?

• Stage now, pay later. 20% upfront, with the balance due within 30 days of install.
• Pay upfront. Pay in full before install and receive a 5% discount.

If the property is an investment, staging is usually treated as a marketing expense and may be tax deductible. Check with your accountant for advice specific to your situation.

Is staging worth the cost?

The comparison worth making is not staging against nothing. It is staging against a price reduction.

On a home priced at $1,000,000, a 2 to 3 per cent reduction is $20,000 to $30,000. A full stage on the same property is typically $4,700 to $5,700. When a campaign stalls and the price has to come down, that cost dwarfs what staging would have been.

Staging tends to deliver the strongest returns when comparable listings in the suburb are well presented, when the existing furniture is dated or wrong for the target buyer, or when the seller needs a result within a specific timeframe.

It matters less when the property already presents exceptionally well, or when land value so dominates the sale that presentation barely moves the needle. If either of those is you, a stylist will say so at the consultation.
