I know we Realtors always say that the market sets the sales price and buyers determine the actual value of the property.  But at some point, does it even make sense if some buyers are willing to sign over their first born and a pint of blood just to get a house?  A friend of mine, who is a former Realtor, is looking for a house in the very competitive Nashville market.  She has has grown accustomed to the multiple offers and the prospect of having to write the seller a letter, bake them a cake, babysit their kids, and wash their car in order to get her offer accepted.              Last week she and her husband viewed a for sale by owner home in Inglewood.  I'm very familiar with Inglewood as I lived in Inglewood on McChesney Avenue for years before I moved to Smyrna.  The home is a mod... 07/18/2015

The kitchen at my Inglewood Cottage project needed some creativity to get to the shape it's in today- fabulous!! (Professional photos by Zach Goodyear.)Here are some of the challenges that were overcome:1. Open the wall up between the kitchen and dining area and make it an arch to make the other doorways in the home (this post).2. Make a spot to install a dishwasher next to the sink (this post).3. Add counterspace on the wall next to the range where there previously was none.4. Build a cabinet next to the dishwasher and over the range to hold the new hood (this post).5. Level the floor around the back door (this post). 6. Make it all look like it fits with the character of the house. I'd say we accomplished our goals.  The old kitchen had some good parts, namely, the cabinets. They were... 03/15/2010

It's been a while since I wrote about the Inglewood Cottage project. I finished my part to let the homeowners get everything painted before they put it on the market. I wanted to wait until after they were finished to get some final pictures.Somehow, this home from the 1940's has retained much of it's character by still having the original hardwood floors and even the unpainted trim and doors. (A rare thing in this part of Inglewood). To continue the character into the remodeled kitchen, the homeowners wanted me to install a white subway tile backsplash and a ceramic tile floor.     When I got to it, there was an old backsplash made up of 4" off-white tile with a laminate counter that had actually been installed right over the top of the original countertop! I took it all apart and inst... 03/13/2010

There are many motivating reasons for improving your home. Most of the time it's because you'll enjoy the results, but often it's also because you want your home to be more attractive to future homebuyers.As you consider different projects to tackle you might want to check out Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value report. (www.CostVsValue.com) It's an amazing amount of information that you can sort through by geographical region. Unfortunately, they don't feature a section on Nashville, but you can view information on Knoxville and Memphis and get an idea of what the numbers would be here in Middle Tennessee. For a "midrange" home, adding an attic bedroom was the top choice, preserving 90% of it's value at resale. This means if you spend $10,000 to do the project, you'd make an addition ... 01/05/2010
