Relative Something

“It only takes one.” That is what our neighbor across the street from us told me the other day. We’ve had a pretty consistent amount of traffic in terms of showings of our house since it went on the market back in late May. But the large majority of the people looking have been unhappy with the fact that the back of our house has no yard space. Since we are on a corner, just beyond the back of our property is the side of our neighbor’s garage.

This most recent comment is a classic example of the feedback we have seen over and over:

The drawback on exterior appeal was the lack of backyard. Even though there’s a community play area, the buyers would like more of their own backyard space for their children. The house showed very well on the main level; kitchen is beautiful.

We are still waiting for that one buyer who doesn’t want to spend time mowing their lawn and who will value the natural landscape that surrounds our home.
