Atlanta has so many quaint neighborhoods that feature small older homes offering nostalgic appeal. Of course, the main draw for many of these neighborhoods, however, is location, location, location!
Whether or not a home should be home staged really isn't about the price point of the home, nor is it about the size of the home, or even the demographics of the home. It should be staged.
That being said, HOW a home should be Professionally home staged is all about the price point of the home, about the size of the home, and the demographics of the home.
Many of the older and smaller homes in Atlanta have the front door opening into the living room. No foyer or hallway entrance to be found. This often creates a difficult space as you see here in this Decatur home in Dekalb County. It is always a challenge for the prospective buyer to envision the appropriate use for the awkward area when the home is vacant. Home staging this small area of the home has made a pleasant visual for the buyer.
What I have experienced in these neighborhoods in this current market, and with this style of home, is that furnishings and accent pieces allow the Internet house hunters to determine room size and which homes will best accommodate them. The key objective to placing the home's interior "for sale photos" on the Internet is to encourage home showings. In the case of this following example, someone would be comparing these photos to other homes for sale in the Atlanta area of Decatur, Scottdale, and Avondale Estates in the probable price range of the high $100's to low $200's. It is clear that the furnished home professionally staged by Peachtree Home Staging in the after pictures is going to draw more physical showings than the photos of the home shown vacant in the before pictures.
