About the data and how to interpret it

The report draws on U.S. properties reported through the RESA® Sold Over List Price Club and Days on Market Club for Q3 2026. Of the 114 properties included, 101 had both list and sale prices available. Sale-price findings reflect the Sold Over List Price Club sample and should not be interpreted as the likelihood that a staged home will sell above asking.

Average time to accepted offer combines submitted listing-to-contract and staging-to-accepted-offer periods, supplemented by researched listing histories or approved reported days on market. Each property is counted once. Because starting dates differ, this is a blended timing measure. The report’s 9.22-day average is rounded to 9 days in these highlights.

Calculated ROI does not establish profit attributable solely to staging. Staging investment varies with market, property characteristics, and service scope. State-level figures reflect reported projects, not statewide sales activity or staging-price benchmarks.

About the data and calculations

The report combines U.S. properties sold from January through June 2026 and reported through the RESA® Sold Over List Price Club and Days on Market Club. Each metric uses properties with the applicable data. Sale-price statistics reflect the Sold Over List Price Club sample of above-list sales.

Sale-to-list percentages are calculated for each property and then averaged. Calculated ROI does not measure profit attributable solely to staging.

Price ranges are based on list price. State-level figures reflect the projects reported and are not statewide sales or staging-price benchmarks.
