[quote=Anonymous]I have a home staging business so the discussion is illuminating to me. Yes, while some people are able envision the function of an empty room, others may not. I can appreciate OP's dismay about not using her mother's quality furnishings, most realtors want a bland-ish canvas: no loud colors, or styles of furniture that might turn away younger, hipper prospectives - which if you're selling a house in a family neighborhood, that's going to be the market. Staging started to really take hold in the 1990s, and grew more popular in urban/higher end suburbia in the 2000s. It's seen as a recession-proof industry as it creates interest in recessionary times, and in higher flying periods, no buyer is ever upset their property went for 'too much money'. They might be amazed and incredulous their parent's house, which was originally purchased for $25K has gone for over $1MM. [/quote]
