Real Estate in Northeast Florida and Around the World

This may seem like a trivial matter, but does having blinds in a window add to the attractiveness of selling a home? 

Blinds are a popular and useful addition to a house.  They help improve privacy, add an energy efficient medium to a house and help control the amount of light allowed in a room. Yes, blinds are important. 

First-time home buyers will often have very little funds available after closing for window treatments, so blinds are important to ensure some privacy without hanging sheets over the windows like I remember my mother doing when she bought her house in 1965.  Move up buyers more than likely became used to having blinds and will desire to continue with their use.

If you are seller and do not have updated blinds in your windows, have a conversation with the local hardware store salesperson about how you might install blinds at a price that is within your budget.  It is almost as important as fresh paint on the walls and unworn carpeting in ensuring your home stands out and makes the buyer's short list.

And if I'm walking around your neighborhood and like how your blinds look in your windows - I'll let you know! 

See you around the neighborhood!
