This property was marketed at the same time as the home next door. They were quite similar in features and age but ours had a pool. The home next door was virtual staging and they both sold 2 weeks apart with ours achieving $110k more.
Virtual staging tends to look fake in photos and buyers are annoyed when they go for inspections because the pretties are not there and that is where staging gets it's power. We create emotional connections with buyers and homes.
