worth of avocado toast.
Meanwhile, the next condo that sold? Went for $435K. And another one five months later? $450K. So no, the market didn’t just magically jump. The difference was staging.
What Exactly Is Staging?
Staging is the act of turning your home into the best version of itself. Like giving it a glow-up. It’s not remodeling or buying fancy new furniture—it’s more like rearranging things, adding a few stylish touches, and convincing buyers that this is the life they’ve always dreamed of. It’s lighting candles, fluffing throw pillows, removing your collection of ceramic clown dolls, and making the place feel like home —but better. A lot of agents say staging helps, but very few can show you hard proof. Thankfully, our skeptical-turned-converted agent did the homework. He dove into the world of staging and came out with case studies, data, and a smug “I told you so” attitude.
Want the Fancy Price? You Need the Fancy Look.
You don’t have to be rich to use this strategy—you just need to think like someone who is. With some elbow grease and clever design hacks, you can make your place feel high-end on a lemonade-stand budget. Because when buyers fall in love with how your home feels , they don’t ask for discounts. They don’t nitpick. They don’t care that the other condo has slightly newer baseboards. They just say, “I want this one.”
