Staging a house really works, I had the chance to redo a morbund house on Marlborough road. With a modest budget and a lot of creativity, we redid the kitchen ( plumbing and cabinets ), painted the interior, did some simple landscaping, and made some minor repairs this cost less than $ 40,000 and we soon sold the house for over $ 120,000 more.
Thank you for your support
Let’s try to remember that blogging gives us power, but it also gives us a certain amount of responsibility.
Trashing a house maybe fun, but you trashing someones hopes and dreams. And probably their nest egg as well
RE: Crown Heights
That would explain the two beds in the master bedroom as well.
Sorry about the multiple posts. The site was not accepting them, so I thought they weren’t registering.
I will practice patience.
The Crown Heights house is being marketed for the Hasidic community. It is smack in the middle of it. That’s why the double appliances in the kitchen. This house is spitting distance from Lubavich world headquarters, temple, yeshivas, social venues and shopping. A large house this close to temple will be snapped up soon by some well heeled Ultra Orthodox family, probably for pretty close to list price. So, for once, can we shelve the ignorant crime ridden hellhole comments, if only for a weekend?
The Crown Heights house is being marketed towards the Hasidic community, this house is right smack in the middle of it. Hence the double appliance kitchen. It’s spitting distance from Lubavitch world headquarters, temple, yeshivas, social venues and shopping. I’m sure some well-heeled Hasidic family will find the convenience to temple and everything else priceless, and it will sell quickly. So for once, can we shelve the crime infested hellhole remarks, if only for a week?
Another point about the 12th st listing – there is a monstrous building going up on the corner – bigger than anything around with crazy construction, noise, dirt, etc. This building looms over the whole street! It must take some value away from the other houses on the block. We looked at a house on this block 2.5 years ago which was going for 850 at the time – even then we thought that was overpriced for the block.
The DP house will sell at or close to ask without staging or storing anything. There’s just so little inventory, people will bite at anything. Especially at this price.
The 12th Street house closed last Friday! A quick paint job and a price increase of $450K in a down market.
