Now that i have seen all the homes listed today, one further comment: House #6, 6800 sq. ft., one half acre, $2,700.000. House #2, 13,000 sq. ft., 6.3 acres....$1,600,000. More than a million dollars difference. House #2 needs to be completely remodeled, and that will probably cost the million dollars. But even though house #2 could be considered a bargain, most people won't be able to see past the interior flaws and horrible furnishings and clutter.
HOuse #2. No, you don't need an interior decorator. You need to clear out almost ALL of the furnishings, take down the art work and perhaps pay to have the home staged in a minimalist way. Perhaps even paint the entire interior a very neutral color. The price is very reasonable for the amount of square footage, but that is also due to the fact that there is a very limited market for luxury homes in Anchorage. Very dated, very cluttered, and these factors will turn off most potential buyers.
But don't you feel sorry for the Real Estate agent? I'd be willing to bet that he warned these people, probably in a soft way, that they had to clean out the clutter.
@@FantasyDreamHomes When I sold my small, modest home, my agent went through and made a list of everything I needed to do, beginning with removing EVERYTHING that was personal (photos, etc....). The agent was very direct with me: if you want to get top dollar, then this is what you need to do. A good agent will do that, because it is the way that the agent will also increase his/her profit.
