Why
so many open houses in New City? The reason is because they are so effective --
not only by instantly spreading notice that a property is seriously entering
the market, but also by creating a firm target date – a day when all concerned
agree that the property will be in peak ‘showability’ condition. Clearing the

Open
houses are like showings on steroids. With dozens of visitors in the offing,
there’s little doubt that every effort will go into preparing for them. Along
those lines, every agent will tell you that a tidy home is far more tempting
than one that looks too lived-in. The
New York Times recently offered the assessment that decluttering is vital
because "most real estate is aspirational, and buyers want to see
themselves in someplace better and more beautiful." Clearing the Way to Decluttered New City Open

Therefore,
a basic part of preparing for open houses is the unglamorous task of whittling
away as much of the daily clutter as possible. There are some stress-reducing
ways you can approach the task:
Focus on how long it has been since items were used
Anything
you haven’t used in the past three months is a candidate for storage (or
beyond!) It may be easier than you think.
Identify items in disrepair
Homes
across America are filled with things that fit this category – items that don’t
belong on display in any New City open houses. (When you find items like this,
you may feel better about tossing them when you realize no one ever gets around
repairing them, anyway!)
Find what’s hidden in plain sight
Finally,
scout through the house for items you take for granted – but which add little
charm. Shelves with books and magazines you will never read and chests in the
kids’ room filled with long-abandoned toys are examples. Clearing such “hidden
in plain sight” articles will complete the decluttering -- and create the kind
of open houses potential buyers get serious about. Clearing the Way to
