Home Despot
As I wrote last week, I am in the process of trying to buy a house. However, I was under the impression the market was down, and sellers would be bending over backwards to get us to purchase their houses. |
 If your room is painted in non-traditional colors like, say, green and purple, you might want to run a coat of off white across it before you open the doors to strangers. If not, you might think about including in the disclosure that one room is painted like a clown, or perhaps a cartoon duck. |
 A pool should be a selling point for a house. However, whoever is responsible for the house (owner/realtor/bank/squatter/whatever) should on occasion, drop by and pour a couple of chemicals into the water. Otherwise, it very quickly turns into something that looks like it should be home to reptilian humanoid creatures, hungering for human flesh. |
 I know you want to show off your furniture, but pay attention to how you arrange them. I look at this picture of the gas range set up on the bar right next to the purple chair, and all I can imagine is Uncle Leo's hairpiece catching fire in Christmas Vacation. |
 If there's something big with the house that will probably be noticed eventually, such as, say, a big freakin' tarp covering a hole in the roof, it's best to mention that up front. A little advance notice will keep me from abandoning hope and sprinting out of your backyard. |
 Bear in mind your choice of decor will influence opinions. What your child may think of as a canopy might lead a prospective buyer to forever associate that room with mosquito netting. |
