But there are things that are older....like the kitchen. We have sheet linoleum floors, "country" cabinets (that have been painted), and laminate counters that are 10 yrs old. As I said...if you want all upgraded....this is the wrong price point. You are not going to find it in this area. My friends and neighbors have all said we have one of the nicer houses around here. I think the buyers we have had come through are brand new at this (which have been told to us by the realtor) and they are still figuring out what they want, can afford, etc. Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496508600320205581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-81722158459983276812015-03-20T23:02:33.020-04:002015-03-20T23:02:33.020-04:00I pray constantly for you to sell your house for t...I pray constantly for you to sell your house for the price you want.

We bought a smaller house, but it was all updated. Conversely, there was a much bigger house in our neighborhood with a pool that was selling for only $40K more than ours, but required a lot of upgrading. Again, everything was in working condition, but it had that old 90's tile floor, outdated kitchen, the original 1970's bathrooms, the whole house needed to be painted, the garage was FILLED with stuff, like you couldn't even walk through the garage bc there were boxes everywhere, and it just made me think--if that's how people kept their garage, imagine how they took care of the house? I'm not saying that your house is like that at all, but just that's how some buyers perceive things. I would ask your friends for some honest opinions.

This is something I have explored off and on for 20 years but haven't really embraced and enveloped into my life. I think discussing it here will just open a can of worms. I won't have satisfactory answers for most of the questions and I am not wanting to get into a philosophical debate nor do I want to defend myself.<br /><br />I will say it is a Pagan path....and that is as far as I will go.Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496508600320205581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-45461690575772628702015-03-20T08:48:10.966-04:002015-03-20T08:48:10.966-04:00It is impossible to keep it show ready 24/7.
