Selling house: Should I exchange out my expensive doorknobs and s
Comments (29)Normally I would recommend leaving these things but not in this market. I am in contract on my house right now. My house was already priced to sell and the buyers still put in an offer 80,000 below our asking price and did not come up much from that. We have lost a lot of money on this deal. We are taking all our curtains and hardware and selling it on craigslist or ebay. We are also taking our swingset which we had planned on leaving. If it doesn't fit in the yard at our new place we will sell that to. We figured we have to make some money somewhere! We live in a very desirable area as well and the market has softened abit but not like other places. This is a new breed of buyers out there. They feel they are entitled to get a great deal even if causes the seller to go broke! Sorry, I'm a bit bitter.

Comments (19)It would be helpful to see pics of the opposite wall with painted white brick and more of the room. Your mirrors & light gray furniture give impression you are craving light. Suggestion: First, clean the paneling well & paint out or replace the fireplace insert black to match other accessories & make it less prominent. Then, decide if the paneling is too dark or wrong color to work with furniture + rest of the house & same with brick. It seems like remaining decisions, e.g. paint paneling or replace with drywall, paint brick or reface, add mantle, add bookshelves, etc. will depend on your budget....See MoreIf I am listing my house should I paint all the rooms white .

Comments (9)Are the walls painted a dark or bright, or deep color? If they are then i might think of painting them. If they are more neutral I would do as jmm said first. You can always give a painting allowance in the sales contract. The chance of YOU picking the the exact colors that I would are fairly slim. Wouldn't spend the money unless I had to...See MoreRelated Professionals
