It’s clear from the latest research that a staged home will command a higher price. Properly staging a home for sale will give buyers the impression that a home has been well cared for. Editing out your personal items, such as family photos, collections, and excess furniture and artwork will help buyers better imagine their things in your home.

Some important statistics to consider when selling a home in Hudson, WI
