Think BARE minimum, you are SELLING your house, so it isn't YOUR house it is real estate inventory is the mindset you need to have, make it marketable by not having your personality shine, but the possibilities shine. Have it SUPER clean, NO clutter, no personal knick knack stuff, storage areas need to cleared out. You don't need Ikea pieces, just basic pieces are fine, just LIMIT furnishings. Color is fine. Staging a house is about presenting the house as valuable merchandise, different than showing a lifestyle through decor choices. People want to see the bones of the home, the features, highlight those and you should do great.

Reduce the price. Selling is ALWAYS about price. Buying is about value for the price.

I love your home Sunny!! Hope it sold for you in a timely manner and for the price you wanted.

Any good real estate agent should be able to tell you how to do this. I would take everything out. Buyers want to see space, not stuff. Pricing needs to be appropriate for the area, and for the house. You never know who will want the house. Again, the agent should give you proper information about that.

I've heard that empty houses take longer to sell and houses sell better when they are staged with a minimum amount of furniture that shows the purpose of each room, i.e., sofa in living room, table and chairs in dining areas, etc.
