HOME STAGERS… ARE YOU FEELING THIS TOO?
A bit of real talk from inside the home staging industry…
Right now, it’s tough!!
We’re quoting. We’re following up. We’re having great conversations. Vendors want to stage their homes… but getting those listings over the line feels harder than it has in a long time.
And I know we’re not the only staging business feeling it.
Costs have gone up. Wages have gone up. Trucks, warehouses, insurance, furniture, stock, logistics everything it takes to deliver a beautiful home has increased.
But at the same time, we’re seeing more pressure to discount, sharpen the pencil, throw in extra weeks and compete purely on price.
So I wanted to actually talk about it.
Not to complain. Not to point fingers. Just to start a conversation that I think our industry needs to have.
Because behind every beautifully styled listing is a business employing people, investing in stock, running trucks, paying warehouses and trying to continue delivering an incredible service in a challenging market.
And to the real estate agents who recommend us, your support matters more than you probably realise.
When you help a vendor understand the value of presentation, rather than simply sending them off to find the cheapest quote, you’re supporting the businesses that help make your listings look their best.
I’d genuinely love to hear from other home stagers around Australia:
Are you finding it harder to get jobs over the line right now?
And agents, are you seeing vendors becoming more price-conscious too?
Let’s actually talk about what’s happening in our industry.
Share this with another stager or agent who needs to be part of the conversation.
