How Much Does Home Staging Cost in Vancouver? (2026 Pricing Guide)

If you're getting ready to list a home in Vancouver, Surrey, or anywhere across the Lower Mainland, one of the first questions is simple: what does home staging actually cost? Pricing varies more than most people expect, so here's a clear breakdown of what to budget in 2026 — and what you actually get for it.

The three main types of home staging

Staging isn't one service. The price depends entirely on which kind of staging your property needs.

1. Staging Consultation — from $195

A 90-minute walkthrough where a senior stager gives you room-by-room recommendations: what to remove, what to rearrange, what small purchases or repairs will move the needle, and how to set up each space for showings and photos. You leave with a written action list and execute the work yourself (or with your realtor's help). This is the best-value option when the home is already furnished and in reasonable shape.

2. Occupied Staging — $1,150 to $1,850 by home size

We work with your existing furniture, then bring in supplementary accessories, art, lighting, soft goods, and key accent pieces to elevate the look. Pricing depends on home size, how many rooms we're touching, and whether storage of your personal items is needed during the listing.

3. Vacant Staging — from $2,595

Full furniture, art, lighting, and styling installed in an empty home for the duration of the listing. This is the most impactful staging investment because buyers cannot visualize an empty space — and it's typically what drives the 'sell 65% faster' statistic you've seen quoted.

What actually drives the price

• Square footage and number of rooms staged (full home vs. key rooms only)
• Length of the staging contract (most packages cover 30–60 days)
• Quality tier of furniture and accessories selected
• Location and access (high-rise condos with limited elevator access add time)
• Whether photography prep, secondary styling visits, or de-staging are included

What's the ROI?

In a typical Greater Vancouver listing, staging investment of $2,500–$5,000 routinely returns 5–15% over the unstaged sale price — a $1.2M home selling for $60,000–$180,000 more. Even on the lower end of that range, the staging fee is a small fraction of the lift, and staged homes spend dramatically less time on market, which reduces carrying costs and price-reduction pressure.

Staging is the only listing expense that consistently makes you money instead of costing you money.
