    1 day ago | wtop.com | Jeff Clabaugh

    Staging a home that is for sale — with new, but neutral furniture and art to make the home appealing to more buyers — is effective, according to a survey of real estate agents conducted by the National Association of Realtors. But not a slam dunk. In its survey, 29% of agents reported staging led to a 1% to 10% increase in the selling price, and 40% said staging helped sell the home faster.

Does staging a home that's for sale make a difference? Real estate agents don't unanimously agree. (But HGTV-watching buyers still expect it.). @nardotrealtor cc;@WTOP https://t.co/AxwQuSAwMY
