But since only one bedroom has a bed in it
To my eyes--although I'm far from an expert on selling real estate--I have wondered if they didn't remove a certain percentage of stuff to help sell the house. It really looks under furnished. But that's just me. [Lord Kenmore looks around his living room, which could use a steam shovel to help with cleaning.] Over the years, I've heard arguments for a totally empty house, a house that is nearly empty (one room for practical purposes lived in, the rest as empty as possible), etc. Too much stuff is considered a detriment, although ironically I recall hearing one story about people who had to live in the house while it was being sold. One day, they didn't have enough time/notice to get everything cleaned up. And that was the day the house sold--because the people touring it reacted positively to the "lived in" feeling, vs. the usual sterile, clean, personality free look.
It's possible, I'm guessing, that the furnishings we see are nothing but "staging" brought in specifically to help sell the house.
