Why Home Staging Matters

If you’re thinking about selling your home, you’re probably already tackling your to-do list-repairs, paperwork, pricing, etc. But there’s one powerful strategy many sellers still overlook home staging.

Think staging doesn’t matter?

Think again.

Staged homes often sell faster-and for more money. Why? Because they help buyers emotionally connect with the space. And when someone can picture their future in your home, they’re much more likely to make a strong offer. Here’s what staging can do:

● Highlight the home’s best features

● Make rooms feel larger and more functional

● Help buyers imagine themselves living there

In contrast, un-staged homes can sometimes feel cold, cluttered, or confusing—a real deal-breaker in today’s competitive market. Especially in Wethersfield, where charming historic homes and updated colonials sit side by side, making your property stand out is key.

Staging doesn’t have to mean a full overhaul. Even small updates-like fresh throw pillows, neutral paint, or simply rearranging furniture-can breathe new life into a room.

I recently listed a small condo in Cromwell and with the help of local stager Michelle Romagnoli, was able to add just a few pieces of decor. The property sold over asking in just two days, despite the shifting market.
