If you live in a 34’ Plan 4 model home then you should know there’s a lot of activity and interest in that model right now. Over the last month and a half, five of these homes have sold and the range in price is astonishing.

The spread in selling price from highest to lowest was over $50,000 and days on market was 1 to 74! This significant spread was due in large part to the various efforts in staging and marketing. On the low end, at $530,000 -- the house was gorgeous. In fact, the main level was one of the nicest we’ve seen. Where did it fall short? The marketing.

When selling your house, putting the sign in the lawn and listing it online will result in a sale but stage & market it properly and ensure it has tons of exposure and you’ll put significantly more money in your pocket.
