[quote=poorgradstudent]It depends a little on the property. Sometimes an empty house can feel like a nice blank canvas, and it can also make smaller rooms feel bigger. We also saw plenty of open houses with tacky furniture and art that was a bit of a turn-off.
On the other hand, GOOD staging can help give a “dream house” feel, especially for a home where it may not be obvious how to use the space ideally.[/quote]
I was about to type this in.
A lot depends on the size of the rooms. If they are small, I would go empty.
If they are average or larger, then it’s a toss-up. People with good imaginations will be just fine with empty or staged. People with poor imagination may need to see how the house would look furnished.
