Real Living HER Open House List - Feb. 5, 2012

The Real Living HER Open House List on Super Bowl Sunday in 2012

The Real Living HER Open House List for February 5, 2012 is not as dinky as I thought it would be... since  Sunday February 5, 2012  is Super Bowl Sunday after all.  The game does not start until 6:30 ... but people need to get ready for Super Bowl parties, or start parties early? 

Are many people in Central Ohio that into the game? The New England Patriots vs. New York Giants?  Or are we just watching for the commercials?

Back to the Real Living HER Open House List... there are 23 homes on the list now, Saturday morning on the Real Living HER Open house list. 

"23 of 23 properties displayed"  Displayed on a map.  If a map view does not work for you use the list view.... or the gallery view.

Worthington's February First Friday

Blue Frost Cupcake High St. Worthington Ohio

Worthington's February First Friday is tonight

There is a theme for February... chocolate and wine!  It's beginning to look a lot like Valentine's Day. 

Worthington spots to sip some fine wine include House Wine, La Chatelaine, Rivage Atlantique and Worthington Inn.

Emlolly Candy High St. Worthington OH*Places to find a fix of chocolate include Blue Frost Cupcake, Graeter's Ice Cream and Emlolly Candy... if they are open for First Friday in February 2012.

Worthington restaurants may have extra special chocolate desserts on their menu too.  Worthington restaurants include P.K O'Ryan and Old Bag of Nails too.

First Friday in Worthington is a chance to "shop, eat and play" in downtown Worthington (High Street and New England Avenue) in the evening.  The Old Worthington shopping area (or Olde Worthington) is a small, charming, walkable area south of the Worthington Village Green. 

 

*Not all Worthington shops, including those mentioned here may be open, Friday, February 3, 2012 from 6:00 to 9:00.  You'd think any that had any tie into chocolate, wine or Valentine's Day would be open, wouldn't you? Few shops were open for First Friday in January, but you can count on the Worthington restauarants to stay open....

How the front door could sell your house

First impressions, how the front door could sell your house is advice from a Texas home stager about your front door.

Many City of Worthington front doors are cute...or interesting, Old Worthington, Rush Creek but when you get outside 270 or west of the Olentangy in areas that are Worthington schools but in newer developments doors can be pretty boring.  A lot of sellers could stand out from the rest of the market just by using a few staging tricks at the front door.   I guess there are some City of Worthington neighborhoods where the front door is pretty mundane too. 

Not a bad thing to have a pretty front door even if you are not selling, is it?

Chris's photographs show you what some relatively minor updates can do.  Thanks to Chris for allowing her post to be re-blogged. 

Via Chris Twing (Twing Staging & Redesign):

Everyone knows first impressions mean a lot. When it comes to selling your home the first thing potential buyers see is the front of your house. For some this begins at the curb and for others it's the front door. For this reason it is incredibly important to remember these areas when getting your house ready to sell.

In fact having a terrific entry is so important Anita Cooper of Realty Biz News recently listed replacing the front entry door as one of the top three home improvement projects which "mostly pay for themselves."

2 Reasons the front door is so important when selling your home.

  1. Most home owners begin their search either by looking online themselves or reviewing listings online sent to them by their realtors. The thumbnail accompanying the listing is generally a shot of the front of the house with the focal point of the photo being the front door. If potential buyers are not impressed with this first photo they often won't bother to look at the home any further.
  2. Potential buyers spend a good amount of time at the front door waiting for their realtor to open the lock box and unlock the door. This gives them ample time to notice even small things, such as peeling paint, a broken door bell or the worn finish of the door hardware. This was just the case with a home I recently staged in Leander, Texas. Take a look.

Front-Door-Before-Collage

When potential buyers see neglected repairs such as a broken door bell or peeling paint they start wondering what else needs repaired. Even minor things such as these will have the buyer keeping a mental tally of how much less they plan to offer.

While replacing a front door may be the optimal solution it often doesn't fit into the budget. But there are plenty of other ways to add appeal to your entry.

How to stage your front door.

  • Repaint. Paint is a home sellers best friend. It is inexpensive, DIY friendly and makes a huge difference.
  • Add a potted plant or flowers.
  • Change the door hardware.
  • Put out a new welcome mat.

See what a difference these simple changes made to this front door.

Front-Door-After

First a complimentary shade of green paint was applied to the door along with a vining plant attached to a topiary trellace. Then door hardware was replaced with a new set in an oil rubbed bronze finish. Last a door mat was added.

Now that the home has a welcoming entry buyers will be imagining themselves welcoming their guests through the door. This is exactly what home staging is designed to do. Make potential buyers begin to see themselves living in your house. This helps them form an emotional attachment to the house and emotions equal offers.

I am not sure if Worthington streets are still decorated for the holidays.  I am pretty sure our office Christmas tree will still be up... unless elves take it down tonight.

We participate...  Real Living HER Worthington participates in  "First Friday."
