[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All you have to do is read this forum to see that many (most?) people can’t see past decor and paint.

We owned a house that had a small living room that was difficult to furnish. We had purchased furniture that was scaled properly for the room and when we got ready to sell, we worked with a stager to make the most of the possibilities and it sold quickly (even in a relatively slow, post 2007 crash market). The house is back on the market and has sat for two months, despite being in a very desirable location. The current owners only have a couple of pieces of furniture that are way too big for the room, and it makes the room look unusable.  I think the fact that the awkward living room is the first thing people see when they walk into the house is a big factor in the house not selling.[/quote]

Yes I saw this with neighbors who listed their house in Del Ray when the market was white hot. The house had small rooms and an awkward layout, but staging could have shown some possibilities. Instead they listed unfurnished and it languished and only sold after the price was reduced. [/quote]
