Both units had the same kitchen plan with the same cabinets and a tile floor. Both units had nice hardwood floors in the living room and carpeted bedrooms. Every important detail of these townhouses was identical. I studied every aspect of these sales to find what made the difference. There are two reasons one home sold for $25,000 more than the other: Townhome A was professionally staged, giving it a more appealing appearance. The agent selling this home took higher-quality, more attractive photos of the home. Those two seemingly small actions made the $25,000 difference! The buyers of Townhome A made a higher offer because the agent presented the home in a more appealing, attractive way.
