When it comes to selling your home, preparation is everything—and one of the most important aspects of prep is staging. At the Yost Quesada Team, we know that a well-staged home sells faster and for a higher price, and that’s why we partner with the best professionals to create a show-stopping listing that buyers can’t resist.
Today, I’m here at one of our upcoming listings with Courtney, our expert home stager, to talk about the staging process, why it matters, and what kind of return on investment (ROI) you can expect from staging.
What Goes Into Home Staging?
When it comes to staging, it’s more than just adding furniture—it’s about designing an experience that helps buyers fall in love with a home. Courtney walked us through her process, which includes:
✔ A Detailed Home Walkthrough – She measures the space, takes note of lighting, cabinetry, colors, and architectural features to design a cohesive look.
✔ Creating a Floor Plan – This ensures that every piece of furniture, artwork, and décor enhances the flow and feel of the home.
✔ Matching the Home’s Personality – Every home is different, and the staging should reflect the home’s style, whether it’s modern, coastal, boho, or craftsman.
What Staging Style Works Best in San Diego?
San Diego is unique because of its diverse architecture and neighborhoods, which means staging needs to be customized for each property. Some of the most popular styles include:
🏡 Coastal Chic – Light, airy colors and natural textures perfect for beachside homes.
🏡 Modern Minimalist – Sleek, clean lines with a contemporary feel.
🏡 Boho & Eclectic – Layered textures and earthy tones that create warmth and charm.
🏡 Classic Craftsman – Timeless designs that highlight historic character.
At the Yost Quesada Team, we work with stagers who have inventory to match any home style, ensuring that staging feels authentic and inviting.
What’s the Return on Investment for Staging?
Many sellers wonder, “Is staging really worth it?” The short answer: Yes!
📈 Homes that are staged sell for an average of 10% more than unstaged homes.
📉 Staged homes sell in about one-third of the time compared to non-staged homes.
That means that by investing in staging, you can:
✔ Sell your home faster – Less time on the market = less stress!
✔ Sell for more money – Buyers are willing to pay a premium for a move-in-ready feel.
✔ Make a lasting first impression – The right staging makes your home stand out online and in person.
