2-stage grafted persimmon not leafed out after planting bare-root
Comments (12)Like someone else mentioned, persimmons often start really slowly. I think it is mostly because of the tap root. I bought a Garretson persimmon as a bare root and it barely survived. It just sat there and didn't really grow. The leaves were small and I told the nursery ( One Green World ) that I thought it had a virus. They said, "No, that's just the way they grow from bare root." It also looked as if it were doing nothing the next year. This year (3rd year), it finally has full-sized leaves and it fruited! They were right! The tree looks healthy and is doing great! I bought an Early Golden in a pot and it didn't have this transition. I planted it last fall and it is already fruiting. It was a large holdover on sale, and I got a screaming deal. It has about 7 fruits on it. I think the bare rooted one will, over time, be healthier, more drought resistant and have more minerals and flavor because it is drawing its nutrition from deeper in the soil base. It does take a bit longer to grow though. JOhn S PDX OR...See MoreAnother Before and After Staging of a bedroom
Comments (12)It is a big improvement, however the photo quality is not really comparable - the after photo includes the window, and uses a wide angle lens to stretch the space. The before photo shows mostly floor due to a bad angle....See MoreExample photos of 'good' staging?
Comments (18)Just my .02cents but I think you are stressing way to much about the situation. We have been on the market since last August. We had alot of traffic and showings but not one offer. School started and then the showing went down hill from there. We switched realtors in November after the 1st 4 month contract ended with our 1st agent because we felt we needed a change to get traffic moving again. With the new agent traffic picked up again and we had a few showing then (even one on 12/23 which I thought this buyer has to really be intrested to want to look at our house 2 days before Christmas and they still didn't buy it)...lol Contrary to some beliefs of taking it off the market during the cold months, we went the opposite direction thinking we would have less competition during the slower months. We eventually got an offer in March and we are set to close April 20th. With all that being said I thought about doing staging but decided against it. We looked at a few model homes to get ideas, decluttered as much as possible and tried to keep it clean as much as possible before leaving out every morning. I can say now I truely understand there is a difference between having your house clean and having your house clean to show. In the end I don't think a bowl of fruit, a soap dispenser or a few towels is going to sell your home. As long as your home is clean, not cluttered & people can see your home as theirs you should be fine. Once you have done all of those things and have nice pictures on MLS, the home is going to have to sell itself and just a thing of timing and finding the right buyer. We have a townhome which even made it more difficult to sell and I must say all the foreclosures didn't help our cause either. It has been a long 7 to 8 months but I refused to get down because the market was down and continued to pray. We stayed positive, kept the house as clean as possible and lots of prayer and we are looking forward to moving into our new house at the end of June. Hope that helps!

Comments (11)My main issue was that I've been "down" for close to 3 years between back problems, caring for my dad, then back problems again. While my house wasn't messy, it bothered me because I'm a neat / organization freak. I collect dolls & other things so I had a lot of packing up to do. We had a few jobs that needed to be done, took longer than we thought due to the contractor, but the realtor we called was able to see past this and is standing by waiting. As for staging, I used this as an opportunity (excuse) to go shopping for new bedding in one room, curtains in 2 others plus a nicer table cloth then what I normally have due to my daughter spilling. I've also wanted to hang some pictures on the walls, found great deals at JC Penney. I'm also trying to finish a few crafting projects like beading a lamp. I'm not going to rent anything to stage, just making sure the house is pleasing to the eye....See Morenosoccermom
