Kitchen Witch Homes in this price range are almost always staged - it's an investment of around $10,000 that easily increases the selling costs by factors of that amount. The point is to make the home look elegant but inpersonal, like an upscale hotel room. This way the buyers are not overwhelmed with another person's personal point of view, and can picture themselves in the home. When we were looking at homes in the Oakland hills last spring, all in the 1.5-2 million dollar range, every single one was professionally staged (though admittedly some far better than others)
