Snowing on Kennesaw Real Estate
Posted by Cathy Meder on Friday, February 12th, 2010 at 7:35pm.
As I sit looking out my office window at the beautiful falling snow, I am thinking of all the things I really need to be doing. I am also thinking about this housing market and how, when my home owners update the areas of their homes I suggest before putting them on the market, it seems they always sell fast.

Now, while it is true that you still have to be competitively priced when you sell your home, you also want your home to look up-to-date so you can enjoy it. As I sit here, I am thinking about why we all, (myself included,) wait till we are about to sell our homes before we update them. It’s really inexpensive to change a bathroom’s color or tile (one bath at a time) or paint a room and it just doesn’t take that long.
So, try these things: Take down curtains that have seen better days and caulk the holes. Replace broken blinds. Take an empty box and fill it full of stuff you don’t use anymore that just sits on every level surface in your home (you know, all the stuff friends and family gave you that you should have re-gifted to someone else) and give it all away or sell it…you get the idea. One day I had a client who asked, “Why don't people update and de-clutter? Their houses would look so much better.”
So on this snowy weekend, if you have nothing to do, take down a bathroom of wall paper and then paint the walls. Then paint those old white cabinets flat black or merlot. Wow–you won’t believe what a difference it will make. And, from time to time…ENJOY THE SNOW! So, I am going to take my own advice. I’m off to paint those old white cabinets.
