Should I stage my home before selling?

Yes - staged homes sell 73% faster and attract 50% more offers. Nearly half of staged homes sell for 10% more than they would have empty. At minimum, every listing should have virtual staging, which is cost-effective and eliminates the negative signal of empty rooms. Empty rooms photograph smaller, colder, and less livable, reducing buyer emotional engagement and weakening offers.
