Sell This House

Posted by Dinah on June 6, 2006, at 11:24:54

Do people really talk that way in open houses? Or do they handpick particularly outspoken people? And surely some people must still not like the house after it's staged.

Our foyer flooring was featured in Bad Bad Baths. :( We didn't lay it, but we like it just fine. :(

I like "dated". Does that date me?

Nobody really talks that way. And peopler really can look at a place and see past 'gee that vase is ugly.'

Well, you're not buying the vase, you goon!

But, oddly enough, a certain amount of staging will get a higher price. And empty houses don't get as much as furnished ones.

I'm weird, I guess.

I didn't mind what people had in their houses, because I just pictured how my stuff would fit in the basic rooms.

But I liked the empty houses best. They seemed so much bigger. They need to rent small sized furniture for people selling their homes. Like they did in Westerns, so the heroes looked bigger.

I think it depends on whether they are new houses decorated by a decorator. If not then empty houses. No clutter. Love Phillipa
