I had one condo unit where the tenant was living. The place was a cluttered mess, and I literally received no offers. So, I relisted once he moved out, kept the place empty, and sold it within a month. I've applied this approach to the last few condos I've sold, and I've never had issues.

I actually find staging really helps. Empty condos look smaller. Staging gives people an idea of how usable the space actually is.
That said, I think you have to consider the following: What's your immediate competition like? And how much traffic are you anticipating to get at the open houses? there were some days we only had one party come through. and lastly, how many days on market is the average? the longer it is, the more staging would cost I assume.
as for appliances, unless the ones you have are junky and you're competing with units that have updated appliances, I wouldn't invest there. If you do end up investing there, I'd go for the cheapest/nicest looking, and do it only so you can be competitive, not necessarily to get your money back.

first one I've really noticed (beyond the usual fake TV/art images) - I guess because they stacked them w the empty photos. They even flipped the furniture in the mirrors.
It's actually pretty convincing

On the topic of virtual staging.. anyone know why it's trendy to photoshop the TV screen with pictures of jame bond/margot robbie/topgun? And do realtors know any other adjectives than PRESTIGIOUS? No, blundell road is not prestigious!
