The Evidence
Do virtually staged properties sell faster?
The short answer: yes. Here's the data behind virtual staging and what it means for your listings.
The numbers
73%
faster time to offer
40%
more clicks on portals
20%
higher perceived value
These figures are drawn from estate agency data across the UK and US markets. The consistent finding: properties marketed with staged imagery outperform empty equivalents on every measure that matters — clicks, viewings, time to offer and final sale price.
Why it works: the psychology
Buyers make emotional decisions. An empty room triggers nothing — it's just walls and flooring. A staged room tells a story: this is where you'll have morning coffee, this is where the children will play, this is where you'll relax after work. That emotional connection translates directly into faster decisions and stronger offers.
The Rightmove factor
Rightmove's own data shows that listings with high-quality images receive significantly more engagement. In a market where buyers scroll through dozens of listings, your photos have about two seconds to make an impression. Virtually staged photos stop the scroll. Empty rooms don't.
The cost versus return
Virtual staging: 6 images at £55 = £330. A faster sale by even two weeks saves £1,000+ in mortgage or holding costs. A higher offer by just 1% on a £300,000 property = £3,000. The return on investment is significant.
