Recent closed sizes can help you decide which features deserve attention before you list.

If you are trying to figure out what buyers are actually paying for, I would look at the size of homes that just sold before I talk about cosmetic changes. In Sumner, WA, a typical closed home measured 2,305 square feet over the previous month, which helps frame how your home will be judged when it comes to space and utility.
Over the previous month, a typical sold home in Sumner, WA measured 2,305 square feet. That was 31.1% higher than the month before, so larger homes made up more of the recent sales mix. For sellers, that is useful because size influences how buyers frame value before they ever walk through the door. If your home offers strong function in a smaller footprint, I would make every room earn its keep and present the layout clearly so buyers see usability, not just the number on paper. Tighten up room function before photos and showings. Remove furniture that makes the layout feel smaller than it is. Highlight storage, flow, and flexibility in the way the home is presented. Make the space easy to read at a glance.
