The Most Popular Color in the World

Posted by on in Selling Real Estate2 Comments

BLUE is consistently ranked as the most popular color in the world – by men and women alike! Which is why it makes a great color to use in your #home when getting ready to sell it. It’s so easy! You don’t need to paint the walls necessarily, but it’s easy to swap out that old orange blankie for a blue one, as you see here. Or a blue vase or bouquet of flowers! 😉💙 (By the way, the most unpopular colors are brown and orange. Eww! LOL).

Low Appraisal Addendum

Posted by on in Buying Real EstateLeave a comment


The last several months has seen a steady climb in the use of the “low appraisal addendum.” What is it? This addendum obligates a buyer in advance to pay MORE than the appraised value. Why would anybody do that?? Because buying is so competitive right now that many homes are not appraising at value! You would think this would be a great thing for buyers (a protection) and it is, but then enter this addendum. This addendum allows buyers to submit a MORE COMPETITIVE offer by promising a seller in advance that if the property does not appraise, the buyer will pay more than the appraisal value. The buyer sets that amount in their initial offer. Remember that lenders won’t lend above the appraised value so that’s EXTRA cash you need to bring to the table. Of course, if it appraises at your purchase price value, the addendum doesn’t apply.

SOUNDS TOUGH TO BUY RIGHT NOW?? Not necessarily. This doesn’t happen with every home on the market. It largely depends on the location and type of property you want. PLUS, with interest rates so low, it’s worth giving it a shot if you can get into a home and start building your own equity instead of your landlord’s!

How to Add Color to Real Estate Listings

Posted by on in Selling Real EstateLeave a comment

Love this colorful piece of art I found online sometime ago. 💖 I wish I knew the artist! Colorful art is a fantastic way to add color, style, energy, and youthfulness to your home without doing laborious, more permanent, work such as painting bright walls. 😳 This becomes especially important when you’re selling a house. The truth is, buyers LIKE color! 🌈 It’s just that most sellers are not good at doing it on actual walls. 🤣

#SorryNotSorry. You’ll always get honest real estate advice from me! 😬😆
