We have a fair amount of new construction here and the builders are not having their homes staged for the most part. A lot of the homes are just sitting there, not selling, and nothing sets them apart from the competition. I have staged a few of my own vacant listings, just using inexpensive things, and it is amazing what a difference it makes. Here are some "Before" and "After" photos of a brand new home I recently listed that has been on the market a year and a half. One of the previous agents even did a virtual tour of nothing but blank walls and empty rooms - it was awful! I have found that being able to quickly and inexpensively partially stage a vacant home has helped me to get listings and, more importantly, SALES! It's nothing fancy, and it's not professional, but it sure has been effective!
