Available current real estate inventory is much higher than the number of available buyers. Professional staging has become a common situation to set one property above another.
National Statistics prove professionally staged homes sell up to 70% faster and for up to 20% higher than do non-staged homes! As you are very aware every day your unsold property sits on the market your net profit goes down when you consider your mortgage payment, taxes, water, electricity, yard and pool care, etc.
