The Staging's Working but we still can't sell the place! - Jul 29 08:33 PM
This was a fun one.  An estate sale.  A postwar split with some furniture already in place.
Our brief
Hip the place up to tempt first time buyers.
The Results
It's been sold not once, but 3 times!
It turned out that the coffee table is a well-respected vintage piece....
 and so was the end table, 
 
 
 
 With Ikea's silver bowl and bright, bright green potpourri, plus some edgy magazines under the glass, we had something that was much more fun that those sofas deserved!
Here's the kitchen ...

ACTING IN YOUR BEST INTERESTS - Oct 16 02:22 PM

Devils Fan??? Living in Cranford or Westfield NJ is Perfect!! - Jan 08 01:36 PM

On Capitol Hill, it's known as the biggest goof-up relating to housing in years: Working with the White House, Congress passed a bipartisan $150 billion stimulus bill that raised mortgage limits for home buyers in high cost areas across the country -- but totally forgot about a program that helps finance more than 11,000 homes a month.

One question which comes up with some frequency is why foreclosure numbers are so important. After all, isn't it a fact that foreclosures are actually rare when we look at the entire housing stock?
