THE “PLAIN JANE” HOUSE
You want to sell your
house, but are concerned be
cause it looks just like many
others in a community devel
opment. Will this hurt your
chances of selling? Absolutely
not!
What you see as a “Plain
Jane”, a new owner will see
as a plain canvas ready to be
painted as "Our New Home".
The new owners have their
own ideas for painting and
decorating. They will prob
ably also have mid- and long
term plans for upgrading the
house. Many buyers will be
enthusiastic and excited about
Past Real Estate columns and
property listings are available
at Hww.heppner.net/heritage
a "Plain Jane”.
Many prospective buyers
like the conformity and the
feeling of “neighborhoodness”
that most development home
communities offer. If your
home is in reasonable repair
with the outside neat and
trimmed and the inside spar
kling clean, it will receive a
positive buyer response. Also,
sale pricing is a lot simpler
when most of the houses are
so similar. This means there
won't be a problem with over-
or under-pricing. Fear not,
we’ve sold many.
