Staging can mean different things to different people. Most people just think it is adding décor, but it is much more than that. When you decide to sell, the preparatory work entails decluttering, painting, or any upgrades and repairs. All this comes much into play during the various stages of making your home look beautiful.
So, in all honesty, it doesn’t matter if it is a buyers’ or sellers’ market or whether the market is “hot” or has cooled, you still need to make your home look like it is going on a first date. You want top dollar for your home, and you may be in competition with other homes in your neighbourhood or surrounding areas at the same time.
Staging doesn’t guarantee you will get over asking or even the asking price, but you will be leaving money on the table if you do not stage.
