By increasing the "showability" of your home, you may increase its saleability and profitability. Nothing attracts potential buyers to a house quite like spaciousness, good housekeeping and home in good condition. Conversely, dirt, lack of light and space or a home which requires a lot of repairs, can deter a prospect. There are many things you can do to enhance the saleability of your house. Concentrate on the exterior first. A fresh coat of paint will make the house éleaner look- ing. Before painting, scrape any blistered or peeling paint, repair gutters and down spouts and replace wood showing dry rot. If the entire house doesn't need a paint job, paint only the front shut- ters and windows. Make sure the lawn is well manicured. Weed flower beds, remove and replace dead plants and trees. Water the garden regularly during growing season. With desert landscaping, make sure that no underlying plastic is expos- ed, that rocks and sand are tidy, and that weeds and grass are removed. Check the patio and walkway for broken paving stones. Remove overflowing trash cans and children's toys from the driveway. See that the garage door opens freely and if you have an automatic door opener, make sure it is in good working order. A nice display of outdoor furniture on a patio looks ap- pealing. If necessary, borrow some furniture from a friend to enhance the "showability"' of your property. If you have a swimming pool, keep the water clean, hose dust and cobwebs from filtration equipment and store chemicals and tools neatly away. Clean windows until they sparkle, for extra dirty win- dows, try pure vinegar or am- monia. Repair or replace torn or bent screens or any crack- ed or broken panes. Pay at- tention to foliage near a win- dow. A window framed in ivy can give a warm, homey feel- "ing, but cut it back if the foliage is restricting the light coming into the room. Paint the front door if need- ed. You may wish to use a col- our different from that of your house so that the entrance stands out. All doors with holes should be repaired. One method of repair short of replacement is to cover a hole with a mirror or piece of panelling. check to see that all doors open and close freely, including closet doors and patio or sliding glass doors. With just a few minor repairs and decorative ideas you can spruce up the interior of a home. A cluttered look in the living room implies lack of organization.
