Per-home traditional staging cost
City-aware midpoint of the local market range — LA $2.5K–$10K, Houston $1.8K–$5K, NYC $4.5K–$15K. Source: CAR, MIAMI Realtors, HAR, NTREIS, ACTRIS, FMLS, MRED, ARMLS, NWMLS, REBNY 2026 market data.
% of listings physically staged
Industry baseline is roughly 1 in 3 active listings. Slider exposed so you can dial up (luxury producers stage almost every listing) or down (volume teams stage hero rooms only).
Edensign annual cost
Smallest monthly plan whose photo allotment ≥ your monthly volume. Above 5,000 photos / mo we route you to Enterprise pricing instead of charging the next bracket.
Days-on-market dollar benefit
Carrying cost rule of thumb: 0.5% of home value per month covers mortgage interest, taxes, insurance, and utilities. DOM reduction figures are local — 73% in LA, 65% in NYC, 58% in Phoenix — from RESA / NAR 2025 staging reports.
Frequently asked questions
Edensign virtual staging runs $0.64–$1.93 per photo depending on plan: Starter is $29/mo for 15 photos ($1.93/photo), Professional is $59/mo for 50 photos ($1.18/photo), and Premium starts at $129/mo for 150 photos ($0.86/photo) and scales down to $0.64/photo at brokerage volume. Industry-wide, AI virtual staging tools price between $0.60 and $20 per photo; traditional human staging costs $1,800–$15,000 per home depending on market.
Yes — by roughly 95–99%. A traditional staging job runs $1,800 in low-cost markets and $15,000 in NYC luxury. Virtual staging at $1.18/photo covers a full 12-photo listing for about $14. Even if you physically stage only 1 in 3 of your listings, switching to virtual saves a producing agent six figures a year — exact numbers depend on city, listing volume, and photo count (use the calculator above).
A producer doing 6 listings a month in Los Angeles, physically staging 1 in 3 of them at the local midpoint ($6,250/home), spends about $150K/year on staging. Edensign Professional covers the same volume for $708/year — a 99.5% reduction. The calculator above models your exact market and volume; most agents see annual savings between $25K and $300K.
Yes. Edensign has style packs purpose-built for luxury — Spanish Colonial, Mid-Century Modern, contemporary glass-and-steel, classical traditional — and multi-angle consistency that keeps furniture identical across every shot of the same room. The output is HD, no watermark, and MLS-compliant. The catch with luxury isn't the staging tool, it's the disclosure: every MLS requires the "virtually staged" badge on the photo, which Edensign adds automatically.
On Edensign, the cost per photo is $1.93 on Starter, $1.18 on Professional, $0.86 on Premium 150, and drops to $0.64/photo at 5,000-photo brokerage tier. Pay-per-use credits run $1–$5/photo depending on bundle size. Competing AI staging tools advertise $10–$50/photo at entry tier.
Yes, when disclosed correctly. Every major MLS — CRMLS, TheMLS, REBNY, Stellar, HAR, NTREIS, ACTRIS, FMLS, MRED, ARMLS, NWMLS — requires that virtually staged photos be labelled "virtually staged" either in the photo itself or in the caption. Edensign exports include the badge automatically and an unlabelled original in case your MLS prefers caption-only disclosure.
NAR / RESA 2025 data shows staged listings sell 58–73% faster than unstaged depending on market: 73% in Los Angeles, 68% in Miami, 65% in NYC, 58% in Phoenix. The calculator above translates that DOM reduction into dollars saved on the seller's carrying costs (mortgage interest, taxes, insurance, utilities) at a 0.5%/month rule of thumb.
Yes. Unlimited edits and downloads are included on every Edensign plan, including the $29/mo Starter. Traditional staging vendors typically charge a re-staging fee. AI competitors often gate revisions behind paid add-ons; Edensign does not.
