I just had a valuation for a re-fi come in at $300k
Only asked for $295k (which I thought was at the high end of the scale).

So with valuations it's really not true what your mother told you.

It really does get better if you picket

The Reno Kings "swear" by the picket fence. They recently sent me an email ot this free link

http://www.renovationsuccess.com.au/audio/great-ideas-to-increase-value-and-cut-costs/

Have not read it yet but FYI.

Picket....hummm, I think it is that privacey, domain master, thing. In 1880's English a fence denoted wealth. Perhaps a hangover?

Anyhow, thanks for the link Rolf as I have a house I am intending to reno so I may give it a go.

BTW you can get cheap fences on Ebay if you are willing to remove.

I know someone that bought a house because she fell in love with the " picket fence dream"

Female school teacher/principal types love houses with picket fences.

I assume a combination of 'perfect little cottage' appeal and what they (or grandparents they used to visit) grew up in, either way it's a built in feel good factor.
