Sorry for my delay in writing but I had hand surgery the end of December and my blogging days were interrupted! The Spring market has officially started in the real estate world. Open house traffic was up 36% from January to February!! Houses are selling and multiple contracts are being presented. As a seller get rid of the clutter. Buyers like to imagine their own "stuff" in the house. You may love the blue walls in your bedroom but a potential buyer may not. I'm not saying you have to paint the whole house "cream or off-white" but neutral works best. There are quite an array of neutrals such as taupe, toast, even a little yellow base mixed in. You not only have to win the pricing contest (price it right to sell; make sure you and your agent do your homework) but you also have to win the beauty contest!
