People who don't
need to sell at a profit:
|
|
| |
 |
Baseball
superstars |
|
The Queen of England |
|
People certain to live in the
same house for the rest of their days on Earth |
|
|
|
| |
The rest of us will keep a house for an
average of 7 years, and our homes will be the single biggest source of
our wealth. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Before making an
offer to buy a house, consider::
| Will
the things you love about this house make it easy to sell ? |
- Your gourmet husband loves the
commercial six-burner stove
- Your kids love the cement
basketball court that covers the lawn
- You love the light coming
through the big
bathroom windows
|
| Will the
average buyer want these things when you are ready to sell? Don't
buy this house if the honest answer is no. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Are we counseling
mediocrity ? No, but homes outside the prevailing norms of a
neighborhood are hard to sell.
Don Not buy:
- The
only brand new house in the middle of a tract of old homes
- A house bigger than all the
others on the block
- The best maintained home in
the middle of a dilapidated block
- A three story home that towers
over its single floor neighbors
- A single family home in the
midst of multi family rental units
- A luxury condo on the fringes
of a ghetto
|

| |
|
|
| |
Avoid neighborhoods and
blocks filled with "for sale" signs, especially when sales are
driven by plant closings or lay-offs |
|
| |
|
|
| |
If
you love the house, take the time to walk through the neighborhood; on
foot!
