The 1968 Fair Housing Act prohibited housing discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or handicap. Every April, REALTORS® celebrate Fair Housing Month to reaffirm their continuing commitment to fair and equitable treatment and a professional level of service for all in their search for real property.

Take a look at sales figures in our local real estate market for March 2013.

Midtown Montgomery real estate sales statistics for March 2013 show the number of homes sold decreased by 6% when compared to March 2012. The average sales price decreased by 6% to $87,165 for the month. The median sales prices increased by 48%, and market times decreased by 7 days. The highest selling home price decreased by 24%, and the lowest selling home price increased by 27% from March 2012.

Selling Your Montgomery AL Home With Feng Shui

by The Hat Team

There is a growing segment of potential buyers looking for houses which incorporate the principles of feng shui. An ancient Chinese practice, feng shui is believed to improve one’s life through the use of color, location and positioning, and specific materials and objects, all of which combine to produce a positive energy, or chi, in your home.

The primary focus of feng shui is the positive flow of energy, which contributes to the creation of harmony in life. Integral components of the philosophy are the five elements of fire, earth, water, metal, and wood, and each of these is enhanced by color selection and use in your Montgomery AL home as follows:

Other feng shui principles to follow include:

1. Avoidance of unnecessary furnishings and objects:

In feng shui, less is more. Proponents of the practice suggest avoiding big pieces of furniture and removing most plants, photographs, and personalize items in order to facilitate the flow of energy.

2. Abundance of light:

Ample lighting is conducive to good energy and should be generously provided in your Montgomery AL home to provide a sense of spaciousness. Natural light is best, but warm, soft artificial lighting is acceptable. Dimmer switches are strongly suggested

3. Outside appearance:

A solid, strong front door is essential, as is an attractive and clutter-free entranceway. Your landscaping should be well-maintained, your house numbers need to be clean and easily visible, and a well-lit entrance is a must! 

4. The feng shui “trinity”:

The bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom are of vital importance in your home since there is a powerful connection among the three areas which promotes health and well-being.

  • Bathroom: Try to create a spa-like, relaxing atmosphere through the use of lighting and mirrors, which give the room a sense of space
  • Kitchen:  Incorporate unadorned countertops, fire and wood tones, and lighting under the cabinets to invite a good chi.   Add a basket of fresh fruit or flowers.
  • Bedroom:  You should have a solid headboard and a bed that is approachable from both sides and flanked by two end tables. The walls should be in earth colors, and televisions, computers, and exercise equipment should not be present.

Good feng shui means positive energy, sure to help with the sale of your Montgomery AL home. Who doesn’t want the hope of good health, happiness, and prosperity?

By now you have probably completed (or perhaps just planned) cleaning, de-odorizing, de-cluttering, and de-personalizing the Montgomery AL real  estate you want to sell this spring, so you’re well on your way to success.   Now it’s time to think about staging your property, both inside and out, to appeal to potential buyers.

  • paintPainting:  It’s always best to have neutral walls as a basis for effective staging.  Note:  Neutral doesn’t have to mean tan or beige!  Check out colors such as a muted green, smoky grey, ivory, or a soft buttery yellow.  You can also use paint to create a flow between two rooms or areas and to create the allusion of light in a normally dark room.  While an accent wall can be effective in the right location, generally think of the walls in your Montgomery AL real estate as a backdrop for a setting of you creation.
     
  • Accessories:  Simple, colorful, and inexpensive accent pieces will make a big impression on the senses of potential buyers viewing your home.  Think about a grouping of unusual pillows for the family, living, and bed rooms, bright towel sets for the bath, soft throws or afghans on sofas and chairs, fresh flowers in the kitchen, or place settings of colorful dishes on the dining room table.  Lisa LaPorta of HGTV offers 30 easy and inexpensive suggestions for Montgomery AL real estate, as does Frontdor.com in a slideshow or video format.

Exterior curb appeal:  The first thing potential buyers will see is the exterior of your home. Some will even drive by on their own before agreeing to a showing, so you’ll want to make sure your yard, porch, garage, and façade are well taken care of at all times. Clean out all of the leaves and debris that may have piled up over the winter, make sure your hedges are neatly trimmed, and that nothing is covering the exterior of your home. You want buyers to be able to see it clearly from the street.  Keep gutters clear and shutters, windows, doors, and screens clean and in good repair.  Make your home’s entrance colorful, well-lighted, and inviting, trim trees and hedges, and show off a clean, well-maintained driveway and sidewalk area.  Be sure to check out Better Homes and Gardens for many more great ideas—and pics!
