Feng Shui This - House For Sale in Lexington KY - Your Back Yard
Have you noticed that when people put their homes up for sale they manage to get the house in order (usually) but forget all about the back yard. It ends up neglected and cluttered, or bare and desolate.
But, when you watch people walk through a house, after going through the center, they usually gravitate toward the back yard. They want to see out those curtains, peek through the blinds and see what the back yard offers.
What's will they see when they look into your back yard? Most of us don't have a horse farm behind us. Although, in Lexington KY we do have a lot of homes near the many horse farms, so odds are you can find one if you have a competent realtor working for you.
Maybe your back yard has the playground look? Are there toys and jungle gyms all over your back yard? That's not a bad thing at all. Feng shui tells us that children bring in all sorts of good energy.
Whatever is in your back yard, make sure you show it as an asset. Make it pretty with a few flowers. Give it life with some bird feeders for movement. And, mow the grass! When buyers see an unmowed lawn they see themselves mowing it. There's no need to have people working on the yard before they own it...even if the work is only happening in their minds.
Have their minds centering around the fun they'll have in their new back yard. Let them think of the new gas grill they'll be putting on the deck and the sounds of their children playing in the back yard. Out of sight, out of mind. Hide the lawnmower, the weed whacker and any other tools that would suggest "work". Make your back yard look like it takes care of itself beautifully and effortlessly. 
Maybe your house has a pool out back. If so, be sure you're compliant with all local laws about pools, fences and zoning. Legal problems will stop a sale quicker than bad credit.
Whatever you have, make the most of it and have a great time doing it. Happiness is contagious. Enjoy the experience, meet new people and make your home a happy place.
A happy home will sell faster than a grumpy one!
