Dueling Homes – Which Will Sell First?

Two homes with the same layout in the same neighborhood.  If they are similarly priced, which one’s going to sell and which is going to flounder on the market?

Why don’t we start with House #1?  Here’s a brief tour of the home:

Ok, now it’s time to take a tour of House #2.  Let’s see which you think buyers will be scrambling to make an offer on.

Ok, well it’s pretty obvious which home is in a better position to sell quickly and for the most money!  House #2, right?

Staged Home by The Decorologist

 

I staged House #2 last week for a precious family in Nashville, and I fully expect they will be moving on to their next home very soon!  Did you figure it out yet?  I did a Staging Consultation on House #1 two weeks ago.  The homeowners followed my recommendations to the tee, from new paint to packing away about 3/4 of what was in the home.  After hands-on staging last week, the result is what I told you was House #2.  Same house.

      Kristy,
      The dining room accent wall is Benjamin Moore’s Greyhound.

    I was thinking this might be the same home… And if not I was wondering how you got the first photos! And then a little fearful they were taken at an Open House. Whew!

    I love hearing from the Decorologist, all the way over here in England, UK! I too would like to know what colour is used in the Dining room & living room (an olive green/grey colour). Many thanks!

      of course, angela! the lighter wall color is benjamin moore’s winterwood. the darker accent wall in the dining area is benjamin moore’s greyhound.

    Oh! Now I REALLY get it! I thought staging was a nice idea and everything, but I don’t think I was fully convinced that it made THAT much of a difference. Thank you for making it so crystal clear what an impact staging makes! I am totally floored by the contrast in the look and feel of the home. Uh-mazing!

    You are so good! It looks fabulous and I’d make an offer on that house if I lived there. Amazing the differences in those photos.
