Vacant vs Furnished
Empty spaces can be tricky for buyers to envision furniture
placement. Take a look at this photo.
This room looks long and narrow and boring, there is nothing in the space to capture a buyer in person or online. 90% of people can not see past empty walls. Potential buyers need help to understand the space and see the property as a home. Staging gives buyers a better understanding of the function and size of the space.
After staging it is clear to the buyer this space is a family room. The potential buyer now has a reference point, making it easier for them to compare with their current décor. Also allowing them to take mental measurements of how it will fit in the space. This property sold after 3 weeks on the market.
