Why Staging Your Home Is a Must in Today’s Property Market
Thursday 20th November 2025
In today’s fast-moving property market, standing out isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Buyers scroll through platforms like Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket at lightning speed. The homes that grab attention first are the ones that sell fastest and often achieve the best price.
Beautifully presented homes create an immediate impact. They rise to the top of search results, get more clicks, longer views, and—critically—more viewings, even from people who didn’t think they were ready to buy.
Why Staging Matters More Than Ever
We live in a visual, one-click world. Today’s buyers make decisions based on images before they even read the description. If your property photos don’t stop the scroll, you risk being overlooked.
A staged home:
✔ Photographs better, leading to more clicks and viewings
✔ Feels aspirational, creating emotional attachment
✔ Turns casual browsers into serious buyers
Advice for Estate Agents:
Stage to Sell, Not Just to List
If you’re an agent, don’t fall into the trap of simply uploading a listing and hoping for the best. Encourage your clients to stage their homes before the photographer arrives.
Those first four weeks on the market are everything. That’s when your listing is freshest and most visible. Poor presentation during this window is a missed opportunity.
Estate agents often use virtual staging to make properties look great online, which can boost viewings. But there’s a downside—buyers expect the home to match the photos. When they arrive and find a cluttered, lived-in space instead, disappointment sets in and interest fades.
What Sellers Need to Do
Before listing, allocate time to:
Declutter and remove personal items
Repair snags and touch up paint where needed
Deep clean the whole property
Style the property so it looks bright, fresh, and appealing
Buyers want to feel excited about booking a viewing. Presentation is what creates that emotional pull.
