house staging
n.— «Although the majority of homes in Canada are in need of updating prior to sale, a significant difference can be made with as little as $1,500. Although Canadians are unfamiliar with the term, which means preparing a house for sale using cost-effective and non-invasive methods, most consider house staging techniques as part of their selling and buying criteria. House staging can also be referred to as house fluffing.» —“House staging is a pre-sale must” by Fraser Beach Toronto at Home (Canada) Mar. 15, 2005. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
