Sandi Bates is a trusted Real Estate Agent that I know and from time to time, she sends out some advice for the market. I thought I'd share this with you:
"In today's uncertain market many homeowners are updating their homes verses buying new. Whether you are planning on putting your home on the market this spring or not here are some key secrets to updating your home.
The two rooms that consistently make the biggest impression on buyers are kitchens and bathrooms. So you may want to start there especially if you have a limited budget to work with. In the February 2009 Realtor magazine here is what they recommend:
*Stainless Steel Appliances-Essential today at almost every home price point *Add Under Counter Lighting-This improves safety and creates ambience *Change the Hardware-Install new knobs and pulls or reface the cabinet doors *Separate Shower-Install a separate shower enclosure in the master bath *Granite Countertops-Highest priority in the kitchen and if budget allows needed in the bathrooms too *Kitchen Island-Ideally one that's not a boring square and also incorporates lots of storage space
For other helpful tips and suggestions please feel free to give me a call. I would love to talk with you or any of your friends that have any questions about updating or real estate in general!"

I've gone through so much in my life and I have so many regrets.
Sometimes, the best thing is to destroy those memories in order to make
room for new ones...
