About Norfolk's Lafayette-Winona

Homes are taking over 90 days on average to sell in our area. On an existing listing that was first posted in the spring, I decided to withdrawal the listing during a recent price change. The photos were changed, along with the description, the virtual tour, and the photos in our database. Because are closer to fall now than summer (can you believe its almost September?!) I really wanted a photo of the house with the trees in full bloom. Unfortanately that means you can't see the great architectural features of the exterior.

Here are the 2 photos. What do you think?

During a recent brokers open house I took the opportunity to ask the agents what the seller of my Norfolk VA home for sale should do about the color of the paint in the living room. Though almost all agreed that the color scheme was not offensive, they also suggested it could be a deterrent for a potential buyer. Many buyers do not want to go into a property knowing they need to tackle a large project such as removing wallpaper. Here is the original color scheme.

The seller chose a neutral tone for the living room. What a difference! The room looks and feels much larger, less cavernous. See the property for sale in Norfolk VA area of Hampton Roads at http://www.1603stdenis.info or http://www.1603stdenis.com. So, to all of the agents out there that have a house that hasn't sold.... take another look around the property... A small inexpensive change could make a big difference!

This living room is just one of the many fine rooms in this 3200 square foot home with updated kitchen, gorgeous sunroom, large yard, 2 car garage, full basement and more! See it today!
