I showed a beautiful house in Saratoga today! New house that in my opinion was built to sell not to live in. It has a lot of wonderful features, dark floors, cool lighting and chandeliers even an arched fireplace and spiral staircase.

Lots of curves

While my clients enjoyed the details, we commented on how one would lay out furniture as most of the walls are artistically curved. Guess you would need to buy all new furniture or buy the staging furniture (darn, who wants new furniture???-yes, read sarcasm in my tone

Three things builders and architects should to keep in mind when building a spec house:

1) Buyers want obvious places to put their furniture and ESPECIALLY their TV and family room furniture

2) Buyers like yard! They really do! Do what you can to make the yard look large and usable!

3) Master bedrooms in the back of the house- every time!

Curves are pretty, just keep it minimal and usable!
