The need for staging - empty room syndrome
August 27, 2007
No matter how wonderfull the home, if it looks vacant, it implies neglect. Staging your home for sale, and then taking the photographs to market the home allows us to avoid ‘empty room syndrome’.
The photographs in this post were taken from properties in one of the following price ranges, can you guess which? Answer below.
- $300-$400k range
- $400-$500k range
- $500-$650k range
- $650-$800k range
Hard to tell which price range property this room is from?
Not any easier to guess?
Hmmmmmmmm?
….?
Did the photographs help you guess the price range?
All these photographs are from homes that were listed for sale in the $650-$800k range.
Had these homes been professionally staged, they would have better reflected the asking price.
It should come as no surprise to learn that these homes took a long time to sell, and for a lot less than their asking price.

Akanke, I like this “angle” for getting out the information. Those blank, cold and empty rooms certainly don’t convey any kind of price. Good post!

Arkanke - excellent example. And you’re right, it doesn’t look like a home in that price range.

Oh yeah Ankanke, thats what we are always griping about here on AR. HIRE A STAGER, we seem to be shouting that but often there are no listeners!

Hi Arkanke
Without the staging I had no idea of the price range. What a loss for the sellers. Great example.

Brilliant example! I really like this great outside of the box thinking. It’s really a great different way to convince sellers to stage their home to show their homes’ values.
Cheers,

I never would have guessed that home to be in that price range! What a clever way of demonstrated the effectiveness of staging. Nice post!
