House on market 1.5 years...what to offer
Comments (14)You should have your agent pull up comps and make an offer based on that. How long the house is on the market or how many times the price has been lowered doesn't matter. The only thing that's going to tell you what the market value is right now, is looking at recent comparable sales. The market has changed a lot in 18 months, and what the sellers thought back then about the market and prices isn't necessarily true today. Your agent and the seller's agent will need to talk to each other once you have a good idea what your offer is going to be. Hopefully the sellers are motivated. How the couple split the money from the sale of the home is not your concern. They might not have an equal ownership investment in the property, there could be pre-nups involved, or one could have inherited the property before or after they married, etc. You don't know and probably won't ever know out about their personal arrangements. Assuming the house is in both of their names, they both have to sign the papers at settlement. If the divorce is nasty, that could be an issue for your atty to make sure of....See MoreNeed ideas for reconfiguring long narrow 11.5 x 5.5 bath
Comments (45)benjesbride, one reason for rotating the shower and running it the width of the exterior wall would be to get rid of the existing half wall, which now creates a large dark area by the vanity. If I rotate the shower, I was thinking about putting both the shower head and the controls on the left hand wall. Stepping into the shower to turn on the water is not a big issue and I don't like the idea of having the shower head and the controls on separate walls. cpartist, thanks for the tip on the sliding glass doors. They certainly have changed over the last 25 years! I understand your point about a shower bench. Maybe a footrest or a couple of curved corner shelves would add a little bit of decor to that end of the shower, even though I doubt the spray from the shower head would reach that far. One question: How wide was the curb on your 3' x 6' shower?...See MoreJust ordered/joined MisfitsMarket
Comments (56)checked in to the misfits website at 5 pm to do add ons. Added the canned tomatoes and the blueberries and some mushrooms. They had a lot of stuff that I wouldn't ever add...mixes and snack bars etc. The current produce list looks good as there isn't any celery or radishes ! Will see how it looks when it gets here in another week....I am doing every other week and we have a lot of company coming so looking forward to the next box. I check the current facebook Misfits page to see the comments and pictures and recipes. Lots of info and lots of " good " and " bad" boxes and mixups by the company. Growing pains seems to be the problem. WAY more want than there is ability to meet them. Will see how it goes. Everything is keeping beautifully and will have used everything by the time the next box comes. Glad others joined and are enjoying. Thanks again for the headsup sleevendog. c...See MoreMoving in 5-6 years and considering updating kitchen.
Comments (68)eornato….BAM !! Totally on point !! IN MY OPINION ONLY, remember.....speaking from experience as a former BUYER, I was looking for neat, function, quality and something that had NOT been updated to "trendy standards" since trends come and go and everyone's taste is different..... Your kitchen is gorgeous as it is !! DO NOT paint the cabinets !! What I personally see is a battle going on between "warm" and "cool".....gray does NOT go with "warm wood tones"....paint your walls a warm neutral beige tone to BLEND and COMPLIMENT the lovely backsplash tiles which DO go with your warm wood cabinets....that's a cheap fix !! Next get rid of the "tulip" shades on island lighting...THEY are outdated, NOT the whole light fixtures ( unless you WANT to replace the whole fixture )...another cheap fix !! "Cutesy" valances do not work in a gorgeous kitchen...remove it from over the sink.... In my HUMBLE OPINION ONLY...what your kitchen is LACKING is a "softening" accent color...the black and white checked accessories are just making it all too "cold" looking in an otherwise "warm" kitchen.....pick a SOFT color you like....a sunny yellow or pretty peach would work and accent by using floral arrangement on a counter or in center of island....soft bronze or copper for a tea kettle on stove....a green-leafed plant on a counter....you get the idea...."visually" warm up the room so it looks inviting and not "stark naked"...LOL Also, do you really expect anyone to spend any reasonable amount of time sitting on those uncomfortable-looking stools under the island's counter top???? LOL...pick stools with a soft padded top !! I TOTALLY agree with a previous poster who suggested IF you want to invest $$$ in this home that you will be selling, then upgrade any VITAL areas....perhaps install Generac-style "whole house generator" system so prospective buyers will know they'll be safe if the power goes out...that sort of thing...... Lastly...have PATIENCE....wait....life DOES have a way of throwing curves when we least expect it...your "plan" of selling within "x" amount of years may change in a heartbeat....Best of luck with WHATEVER your life brings in the future !!!...See Moreediej1209 AL Zn 7
