Is it better to stage a house or sell it empty?

Should you stage? Or sell it empty? Most of the time - the answer is staging. Staging helps the buyers to envision a home in a way they can live in it, and it helps them to build a connection with the home. You want to create a space where the buyer that walks through can imagine the joy of living there.

For 9 out of 10 buyers: Empty homes are difficult to envision and difficult to understand. Where should the dining table be? Is there enough space for my sofa? Could we all fit in the family room to watch the game together? Stages puts the buyer’s mind at ease for questions like this, and helps them imaging themselves loving the home.

What about using your own furniture vs staging the entire house? If you’re living in the home, it may make sense to keep some or all of your furniture, and just add to it or adjust it. Many times, some larger art, rugs, and accessories can make all the difference, turning your normal home into a WOW home.
