[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently went to a showing for a house where they did zero staging and no paint touch ups nothing.. Made us think if the owners were unable to afford basic touch ups and some base level staging that they might have not taken care of/maintained less visible things in the home as well that would cost us in the long run like chimney, plumbing, roofing, electrical etc. [/quote]
Well that's just a dumb assumption to make, especially in this market when that stuff isn't necessary to sell a house. If it's dated, older owners or their heirs know that anyone buying it is going to come in and make their own changes, so it's not worth it to spend several thousand on a fresh coat of paint, when you could just lower the sales price by that much. I'd rather pay $700K for a house and paint it myself, buy new appliances, new flooring, etc., than pay $800 for what essentially amounts to a cheap flip.[/quote]

+1.

Also, can we stop pretending new paint + decluttering == staging?

The realtor has nothing to do with the painting and decluttering, except for maybe taking five minutes to recommend these and their favorite shade of whisper veil ivory.[/quote]
