Whidbey Island real estate - Articles from Coldwell Banker Tara Properties Tips for Selling a House That Won't Sell Buyer Tips Young buyers like a pretty house, so when a house won’t sell, Mark Nash, author of 1001 Tips for Buying and Selling a Home, urges home sellers to make these simple cosmetic updates. Expose hardwood floors and buff them until they shine. Nash, who sells homes in the Chicago area, says an increasing number of younger buyers dislike homes with wall-to-wall carpeting. ''It's amazing how often I hear from young clients who won't even look at a place unless it has hardwood floors,'' he says. Remove antiquated furnishings. Many young buyers have eclectic tastes. Get rid of matched sets of look-alike furniture from the ’70s and ’80s then rearrange what’s left to make the house feel more contemporary. Take down your old draperies and light fixtures, including old-style track lightings. Remove wallpaper. Repaint your walls.
