From Scroll to Sold: Why Staging Matters More Than Ever in Perth
Right now, Perth homes are flying off the market. Listings are short lived, open homes are packed, and buyers are competing hard for almost every property.
So if everything is already selling, does staging still matter?
Absolutely. In a seller’s market, staging is not about if your home will sell. It is about how much more you will get when it does.
First Impressions Are Digital
Almost every buyer starts their journey online. In just a few seconds of scrolling, they are deciding which properties are worth inspecting. A staged home photographs better, stands out in search results, and draws more clicks. More clicks mean more foot traffic which leads to more competition on auction day or offer night.
Staging Creates Emotional Bidding Power
In Perth’s current market, buyers are already primed to compete. Staging tips the scales by making them fall in love. A beautifully styled living room, an inviting dining space, or a cosy outdoor area does more than look good. It helps buyers imagine themselves living there. That emotional connection is what turns “Let’s make an offer” into “Let’s outbid everyone else.”
The Hidden Cost of Not Staging
Yes, your property will probably sell quickly without staging. But quick does not always mean maximum price. Unstaged homes may leave money on the table, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars, because they did not inspire enough urgency or attract enough competition.
In a seller’s market, staging is less about speed and more about squeezing every last dollar of potential out of your biggest asset.
Perth Buyers Want Lifestyle, Not Just Bricks and Mortar
From inner city apartments to coastal family homes, WA buyers are chasing lifestyle. Staging highlights flow, function, and the feel of a space, the details buyers do not always see in empty rooms.

FAQs About Home Staging in Perth
Q: How much does staging cost in Perth?
A: It depends on the size and type of property. A small apartment may start at around $2,300, while larger family homes or premium properties will be more. Clients find the extra sale price is easily worth the cost, multiple times over.
Q: Is staging only for luxury homes?
A: No. Staging works for all price points. Even entry-level homes can benefit, because styling helps buyers picture themselves living there and can spark stronger offers. We actually find it has more of an impact for average mid market family homes rather than luxury homes which people generally associate with staging.
Q: Does staging still work if the market is hot?
A: Absolutely. In a seller’s market, staging is not about selling faster it’s about selling for more. It creates competition between buyers and maximises your final sale price.
