Many of these home selling myths are regarded as hardcore truth by home sellers! And why?

For whatever reason, most information related to home selling that can be found online (and offline!) is taken at face value, and even though completely unsubstantiated, it is assumed to be correct.

Things couldn’t be further from the truth!

Come on, people!

It is an unfortunate reality that homeowners are often operating on a lot of incorrect information when they start trying to sell their home. There are many reasons for this. While there is plenty of information online about selling homes, not all of it is accurate.

There is also no shortage of info out there in the real world—from friends, family, co-workers, someone you know who once had a real estate license—that it is easy to get ideas in your head that are untrue.

The problem is that these myths can make it much harder to sell your house. Your home is probably the most valuable investment you own. You cannot afford to make expensive home selling mistakes based off of “facts” that are not only useless but misleading.

Before you even think about listing, take some time to do your research and speak with several qualified Realtors that can tell you the truth about selling. To get you started on your real estate education, here are some of the most common house selling myths out there.

This is the question of the decade. You have a red brick house, and you are wondering if you should try to paint it, like all the HGTV trends, and Pinterest pictures: from red to white or grey...

Well, listen to have a clear view of the decision, to paint or not to paint, with the pros and cons of this unsettling question.

Painting brick can seem as sacrilegious to some people as painting stained wood.  About ten years ago, interior design trends turned a corner.  Many homeowners got tired of all the earth tones and the heaviness of the “Tuscan” phase.  People with stained wood in their homes (especially cabinets) now wanted that wood painted white.  

There are some “no painted brick” purists out there, but enough brick homes have been transformed by painting them that there’s very little “spousal resistance” anymore.   Given a choice to keep a home red-brown or change it to white or cream or greige, many, if not most people will choose to update.

But should you paint your brick house only because of design considerations?  Are there any other reasons either to paint brick or not to paint it?

Today we are exploring this lumber bummer trend that made the price skyrocket.

But why and what does this do to the housing market? What to expect next?

Nearly every aspect of home construction necessitates lumber – framing, trim, doors, flooring, windows, railings, and cabinets. The pandemic shut down lumber mills across the country, and supply chains were slowed by a shortage of truck drivers. Low-interest rates and a lack of existing inventory increased demand for new construction, and all that new construction increased demand for lumber. It’s a perfect storm of demand outpacing supply.

New podcast this week, with the preparation of your house for an open house.

OK, first of all, we tried something new, and the sound is terrible. Our Podcast mic did not do us justice, and generally, we redo the podcasts that do not sound good, but not this one :)

Even in a hot seller's market where there are more buyers vying for a home than there are properties for sale, you'll set yourself up for failure if you have an open house before your home is in good shape.

Eager buyers won't overlook major flaws in your home – they'll either opt to pass or make an offer below what you feel your home is worth. Mow the lawn, plant flowers, paint the front door if it's seen better days, and repair any issues. Follow the little tips of the podcast to make a grand opening, with big impressions.

The goal is to attract the unconscious. So let's get your house ready, for an open house.
