In a slow real estate market, you can't afford to stick a sign on your lawn and hope for the best. Your house is competing with every other property in your area and price range, and buyers have a lot to choose from.

The difference between whether someone is motivated to put in an offer now, or wait it out to see how low the price will go, is how much he or she really wants your house. When decorating your house to sell, remember that you are romancing prospective buyers.

If you're hoping to sell fast, these home staging tips from Debra Gould of StagingDiva.com will help buyers fall in love with your home:

1. Decorate for your home's target market
2. Don't try to sell an empty house
3. Strategically use art
4. Use brighter lighting to boost sales
5. Update your home's jewelry
