Do I Need Staging Before Selling My Toronto Home?

Yes. Staging is one of the most effective ways to attract Toronto buyers, increase perceived value, and achieve a higher sale price.

In today’s Toronto real estate market, staging is no longer optional. With over 90% of buyers starting their search online, the way your property appears in photos and videos can significantly influence whether it makes the shortlist. TRREB data shows that buyers have more choice in balanced markets, and listings that stand out visually generate more showings and stronger offers.

First impressions are everything. A buyer forms an opinion in as little as 2.7 seconds online and within 10 seconds of entering the store. Professional staging creates a clean, aspirational backdrop that allows buyers to imagine themselves living in the space. This is particularly important for competitive markets, such as downtown condos or Leslieville semis, where staged properties can sell up to 17% higher than non-staged homes.

At Fox Marin Associates, our five-star-rated real estate team has staged and marketed over 1,000 successful transactions across Toronto. From design-forward staging to editorial-grade photography and cinematic video, we position each property like a luxury brand. Whether it’s a Yorkville penthouse or a Danforth family home, staging ensures your listing captures attention and drives demand.

Key takeaway: Staging is one of the fastest and most reliable ways to maximize ROI and elevate your home’s presentation in Toronto’s competitive real estate market.
