Anyway, I suspect your son was right, and I hope that things are much better by now.<br /><br />I recall when I was selling my house - what an ordeal! - and had people coming to view, I had to lock my cats in the spare room downstairs, with a sign on the door explaining. I couldn't be there when people viewed it, so I was very nervous about the beasts. But all turned out well.<br /><br />It's interesting what Kea wrote about prospective buyers not being bothered by the clutter in a house they view. I think that's true. In many cases, I think it gives them an idea of what the house looks like when lived in, with furniture and belongings everywhere. An empty house can be misleading.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-29346706086141999452019-04-30T11:34:55.307-06:002019-04-30T11:34:55.307-06:00Sure hope your back is better soon.

I am seeing my miracle worker now for sciatic pain. He put me right last year.<br />Hope you have a quick and painless sale.

I love your sunroom, it would definitely be a huge feature to me. Keep your chin up, selling houses is the biggest part I hate about moving.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-3645919979975358882019-04-30T06:01:30.792-06:002019-04-30T06:01:30.792-06:00P.S.

I watch a lot of the episodes of the British show "Escape to the Country" (for the countryside/scenery!), and I notice quite a difference in decor in the houses shown (note these episodes are mostly from 2011 and 2014). Most, though not all, of the homes are VERY cluttered, not staged at all. It's interesting that it doesn't seem to bother the prospective buyers, usually they can see past that. Expectations seem to be different, at least within the context of the show.Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-55605091641743680272019-04-30T05:59:08.984-06:002019-04-30T05:59:08.984-06:00I hope your back is on the mend. My first thought ...I hope your back is on the mend. My first thought was that you'd done something while doing all the heavy work to prep the house. Don't you just "love" our health care? It's good we have it for critical things, but something like this...not so much.<br /><br />Yes, fingers crossed for your house, for great offers and a quick sale!<br /><br />I looked at the house in the link. Love the back yard. The house looks fine to me in the pics, other than that they skipped the decluttering. That wouldn't impact my decision to buy a house, seeing it cluttered, if I liked the space and knew that it was well-built, everything behind the walls (plumbing/electrical) was up to or above code. But no, it doesn't show well. Yours certainly will! Good luck!Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.com
