Yesterday was just like any other day here in Milton, a quaint town just a few miles from the Delaware shore. I dragged myself out of bed, turned on the TV, hoping to catch the weather, so I could dress appropriately for my early morning walk.
But before my feet even hit the floor, I peered out through partially open lids, and 'Lo, and Behold,' there was my real estate yard sign filling the TV screen!
It was my yard sign alright, but unlike many of the other signs around town with REDUCED or SHORT SALE APPROVED that they also flashed during the story, my sign had a rider that proudly proclaimed 'SOLD.'
Later in the clip, as they moved from talk of foreclosures to the need for affordable housing, they also showed the cottage property that we're currently renovating on the same street Of course, they didn't mention our Remodeling company, but it did spark a few ideas as to who I could contact when we're ready to list. It's a totally renovated 2 bedroom, 2 bath cottage for only $150,000. But that's another post for another day....
On the Local and National news, our signs are typically used as backdrops for bad news about the housing market. As conditions improve, one can only hope that they'll continue to find our yard signs attractive backgrounds for their roving reporters, especially if there's a 'SOLD' rider prominently displayed.
Has your sign made the news lately? Do you remember to put up your 'SOLD' or 'SALE PENDING' riders?
