The house has to be completely "done" or dirt cheap.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352988230062622756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209256292806810157.post-8680598462911942752007-11-30T23:37:00.000+11:002007-11-30T23:37:00.000+11:00A home buyer ought to mix and balance the romantic...A home buyer ought to mix and balance the romantic and critical views; your preview evening seems like a good way to encourage both aspects.<BR/><BR/>And congratulations on the sale.<BR/>:)Bill Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814379524664994701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209256292806810157.post-63583032575918719572007-11-30T20:31:00.000+11:002007-11-30T20:31:00.000+11:00I'm not advocating cuddling up in front of an open...I'm not advocating cuddling up in front of an open fireplace while the chimney falls on your head. Simply observing that choosing a home is one of the most emotionally charged decisions you make in your life, and it is interesting to observe other people's methods. There is nothing wrong with any house that price won't fix, but you can't put a price on walking through the front door and knowing instantly if it is the one for you. Anyway, I sold the house today. Someone loves it.Nerevisedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033611131764562672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209256292806810157.post-22645209168683933292007-11-30T02:58:00.000+11:002007-11-30T02:58:00.000+11:00House romance is why you're the realtor; house cri...House romance is why you're the realtor; house critic is the guy who's shelling out $450 K on a house and expects not to have to do his own cosmetic surgery on the place. I agree with RB that most people fall in love with a house immediately. If you're seeing the flaws you're not in love.XUPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06753840302040062406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209256292806810157.post-46535157678332659942007-11-30T01:28:00.000+11:002007-11-30T01:28:00.000+11:00I think people are just pessimistic and expect mor...I think people are just pessimistic and expect more than they used to.

It sounds a jolly good plan for selling houses but houses are so expensive and whilst cracks in the walls are just little things they don't really lead to romantic evenings together when your house has to be underpinned for subsidence!! <BR/><BR/>Ooops I am not much of a romantic am I? I'm not even South African or German either. <BR/><BR/>Seriously though - I think I always know the minute I go into a house whether it is the one for me. I just know. And no amount (well, maybe very large amounts???) of wine would persuade me otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
