Does Your House Have a Soul? via LaurieJStone
Our wonderful family home had ended up the neighborhood eyesore, the creepy neglected site with broken windows and peeling paint. It was like seeing a friend sick in the hospital and helpless to do anything.
I think back to the days we moved there in 1991, our first home after condo life. My immediate order of business was changing the exterior’s neon yellow color. I think of the morning Patrick learned to walk in that living room taking clumsy steps, arms in the air. Paul came two years later. My two little boys, ages 2 and 5, loved playing in a plastic pool on the front yard.Now I feel guilty. Our boys grew. We needed space. We opted for the bigger contemporary a few miles down.Making matters worse, I read that empty homes don’t sell. People are creeped out by all that dead air and open space. People need to see evidence humans live there.
