Open the blinds, shut the toilet.
It is no secret that Big Daddy and I have been house hunting. Not ferociously or aggressively, but we are in the place in our lives where we would like to move, but are not sure if it is a totally feasible option. Thus, we research all the houses that come up for sale in our desired neighborhood. I also online house hunt pretty much daily and research what houses such as ours are going for.
In such a volatile housing market, as Saskatoon is these days. I can attest that house prices for awhile there went up virtually daily. It was insane. It has now settled a bit but it will be very interesting to see what spring brings in 2008.
But a few things I often wonder about when looking at photos of people's homes on the Internet:
1) Why do you leave the toilet open when photographing your bathroom?? Who wants to see that?? Not a big selling feature in my opinion.
2) Clean your freaking house before you take pictures, ugh. Like I want to SEE your window grime in a photo.
3) No, no we do not want to see your kids playing in the living room or your wife on the computer in the den.
4) If photographing the bedroom, choose to pick up the strewn clothing prior to taking the picture. Making the bed, also would be a plus.
5) This one is a gooder if you ask me: "Fully renovated in 1985!!" NOT a selling feature, nor does anyone of sound mind actually want decore from 22 years ago. Also, it isn't exciting, so drop the exclamation marks. For those wondering, it was not a typo. I saw the pictures to prove it.
