I've done this with older outdated homes but never heard the term "white boxing". I agree with that staging some older outdated homes is like putting lipstick on a pig. 

New term for me. I don't see enough houses present in such a manner that the tend, if you call it that, needs to have a name.

Interesting article Peter Mohylsky. Broker -BRIX REALTY . I don't think I ever intentionally "whit boxed" a listing. I always preferred staging.

Sometimes I think it works better in person, but not in photos (IMHO)

Plain Vanilla Shell. In CRE it is delivering the space empty with white walls and no further buildout.

Kardashian-esque all white interiors and well, everyone wanna be Kim, right? LOL LOL LOL

"White Boxing" by other terms has been around for years. Remember the 1970's when relocations were common and homes were set to "neutral"! What is new has been done before under a different name.

You're not the only one Peter, this is the first I have heard the term.

I have never heard the term either. makes sense to some degree, on certain properties

I have endorsed the concept intuitively; good to know now there is a term for it.
