Prepping a house for sale is of vital importance in any market but especially in a slower moving one like we're in right now. With so many houses for buyers to pick from, sellers must have every aspect of their home polished and perfect to grab buyers' attention. Staging the home prior to selling is one super common way to prep a house. If a home will be occupied during its time on the market, then a home stager can come in and consult on how to arrange furniture. One major component is removing unnecessary items to declutter the home. If a home is vacant, then stagers can bring in their own furniture and arrange it in a way that highlights the positive aspects of the home.
A Seattle real estate agent actually is credited for establishing the home staging industry in the 1970s. Homes for sale in Seattle are often staged in some way. If you're considering selling your home, it's a good idea to tour Seattle open houses of comparable homes to see the difference between staged and non-staged homes. Knowing your competition gives you perspective on where your house stands prior to putting it up for sale.
The Seattle Times has a great article on staging and its impact on selling quickly in this market.
