This vacant house is on my usual route through Brittany Heights.  I’ve noticed that the box is missing flyers & has been for almost a month.  This house has enough problems without adding to them by neglecting the info box.

A vacant house is hard to sell because most people can’t visualize how it will look filled with furniture.  Even a small amount of staging can create a homey feeling that is desirable.

Besides being vacant, this house has lilac paint in the living room, a different kind of purple in the master bedroom, and a country theme in the kitchen.  There’s a funky country blue painted on the edge of the counter top.  There may be a few of you out there who still love country decor.  But the vast majority have moved on past that long ago.

The Good: This house is roomy–a California split-level.  Lots of open space in the kitchen and living room.

The bad: Wallpaper and borders that need to be removed.  Not a fun task.

The ugly: The wall colors.  One of the bedrooms is done in gloss paint put on whith a heavy-nap roller.  Needs lots of sanding to make the walls smooth again.
