You don’t need a large budget to stage effectively—small, targeted spending below three hundred dollars can yield big results. Focus your budget on visible areas where the camera sees, such as repainting walls, buying or thrift shopping lamps, and adding simple décor like plants or rugs. Save by decluttering and using virtual staging for empty rooms. Prioritize fixes that brighten and define spaces clearly, as these inspire buyer confidence and help your listing attract quicker, stronger offers.
