What do home buyers want?

They want a house they can see themselves living in, not a house they see you living in. You need to present it for their tastes, not yours.

Ok, here are some pictures......

The sun room and the loft, we added ourselves.

I had one agent tell me that adding rooms, does not add value to the house.

Really?!!?????

None of the smart people want to live in Ohio. The electric bills are going to quadruple.

You will be going from $16 megawatt hour to $357 a mega watt hour in your state.


And the dumb people probably cannot afford your house.

So....I don't really see you selling it to anybody that is the know.


You couldn't give me that house for free because I would'nt want to pay the utilities on it.


Here you go read this and you will know why your house won't sell.

The market-clearing price for new 2015 capacity – almost all natural gas – was $136 per megawatt. That’s eight times higher than the price for 2012, which was just $16 per megawatt. In the mid-Atlantic area covering New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and DC the new price is $167 per megawatt. For the northern Ohio territory served by FirstEnergy, the price is a shocking $357 per megawatt.

These are not computer models or projections or estimates. These are the actual prices that electric distributors have agreed to pay for new capacity. The costs will be passed on to consumers at the retail level.

It's already done. There is NO avoiding it. It is going to happen unless somebody other than Obama is elected.



Ohio is in bad shape because they are 80% powered by coal.

Obama's war on coal is going to really hammer that state.

The funniest thing is, ya'll voted for Obama.

Ohio is a swing state and ya'll swung for Obama in 2008. I hope you are enjoying your hope and change.

we have always heated with wood.....so while I get your post? it is moot for this house....woodburner sits in the fireplace for all those who have eyes to see can see, plus a back yard FULL of fire wood for those who have brains to get it........

And, a 35 year old house can't compete with newer homes as far as the "newness" is concerned.

I just bought a house for 45k that sold for 106k back in 2006. It was virtually brand new and only required a few minor repairs.

It's a buyers market.

Very true!

As for the water gardens, they look great. But if I was looking to buy and seen all that, I would think I bet the mosquitoes are terrible here!!

toxic chinese drywall is going to be the lead paint + asbestos demons that bite off the slum lords dick in a few years in court. )

Oh that's why you can't sell the house. Nothing is Electric?


Seriously now come on.


Something runs on electricity there.

I bet your electric bill is over 100 a month right now???

Well, funny though, is you would be wrong :)

we have never had a mosquito problem due to the water gardens. And now, we even have (just in case) mosquito fish in our water gardens. These are little itty bitty fish you can barely see, and their sole purpose is to eat any mosquito eggs that may pop up.

Well, I never said a 35 year old house can compete with a new one. That's just it, why do people come look at an old house, that they can already see online, and complain that it's not new. They are wasting everybody's time, and I am about to have a heart attack in this effort, my blood pressure sky rockets.

Like today, I had 20 minutes notice of a showing. I had actually taken the day off work because I am exhausted from the work I have been doing the last couple of weeks, just upkeeping and keeping as clean as possible. My husband works out of state, so it is only me trying to do everthing, while I work full time.

So, of course, the house was not perfect in every room, closet and cupboard with 20 min. notice. So I will lose a sale because of it. It was as good as I could get it at the time.
