After around 10 people or so came through our house, we knew what we needed to change still. Everyone seemed to like the house in general, they liked how bright and open it is, and they said it was staged well, looked great and was priced just right. Problem??
THE basement. I was afraid it would be a problem, but it was just soooo much better than before that I thought maybe it would be okay. Not that everyone said the basement was horrible, but basically the only negative feedback we got at all was the basement, mainly the ceiling tiles. So, we thought we might as well just fix it. Took us 3 days and $300 and it turned out great. I painted all the hanging track white, and we replaced all the ceiling tiles and put in new lighting. We absolutely hated the big old florescent lights down there, so we changed it to can lighting in the main room and regular fixtures in the bedrooms.
There ya go. We also staged it a bit more, as you can see, because it was...well, empty. Now I'm pretty sad, because we had tons of showings, and now the basement is nice, but we haven't had any showings since we fixed it. :( Crossing our fingers that we get some showings and an offer soon!
Looks fantastic!! Hope you get some showings soon!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. Call you realtor and have him/her contact those who brought people through and tell them to bring them back!
