My experience has been that many purchasers can't visualize an empty home with furniture. They are drawn toward a home that is well furnished and beautifully decorated. BUT ... it would be very expensive to create that ambiance just to sell a home!
I would avoid sparsely furnished or mismatched. I think that is less appealing than empty.
Pat, if I were in your shoes, I'd go with an empty, freshly-painted home in "move-in" condition. And of course the carpets must be immaculate. It won't photograph well, but hopefully you'll find a buyer who prefers that option.
