My husband and I first planned to sell our house back in September 2008, but, as most people are well aware, that’s the very same month when Wall Street imploded and the U.S. economy took a major hit. Since then we’ve recognized that the housing market isn’t what it used to be. With so many sellers competing for the attention of a few potential buyers, any little advantage helps.
We’ve taken the chance to undertake a few small home improvement projects, including a landscaping job that encompassed the rear lawn and garden. Noticing that browsers were stopping by to admire the house from a distance each evening, I put out some solar powered garden lights that would illuminate the space and make the landscaping work look even more attractive. In the last month or so we received a few serious offers, and it’s only a matter of time before we finally sell the place.
