QOTD: Imagination

Quote of the Day: Something for home buyers to keep in mind when seeing houses.

You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.
-Mark Twain
A couple observations:
1. I guess I like Mark Twain quotes; I have posted at least one other.
2. Many times, buyers tour through potential new homes and fixate on one (or more) negative aspect of the house, like the ugly tiles in the owner's suite bath or the unpleasant harvest gold color of the laundry room walls, rather than taking the broader view of the space, layout, unique features, and the home's value in total. Of course the space and usage of a home are crucial to a buyer, as is location (for commute distance and options, access to services and amenities like recreation). But the surfaces like carpeting and wall color can all be easily and relatively inexpensively changed.

You cannot move a property, but you can certainly paint your laundry room.
