St. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, and the patron saint of home sellers, is one of the most popular figurines in todays housing market. Our local housing statistics, www.swflrealtors.com , show lots of inventory and great deals. Although the Roman Catholic Church does not officially support the practice, when it works I think the Church officials hide a wry smile. Stephen J. Binz, the author of, "St Joseph, My Real Estate Agent", feels it is a pop spiritualiity, difficult to track its origins (www.familychristian.cm). Most feel the statute works best with head down, feet toward heaven and facing the property. It is becoming more and more relied upon in our dismal housing market by people of all religions.Zillow’s Make Me Move. Or two New Jersey neighbors who swapped houses. Even more unusual is the couple who sold their home at their yard sale.
Some desperate real estate agents have been known to recommend smudging. A Native American purification ritual, it uses incense and bell ringing to rid a property of any negative energy. Bad energy is wafted up and out of the house, opening it up to the positive energy of the seller, thus creating an inviting aura for a buyer. The smell of citrus is a positive force in having buyers arrive at a decision. Also Feng shui made an appearance in the early part of this century. Arranging all objects in a confortable and balanced manner made the dwellers feel they were not under achieving. This ancient Chinese practice had alot of converts early, but has faded in popularity with the onset of volumes of inexpensive properties. The real keys to a successful sale are proper pricing, top notch condition of home, and listening to your experienced agent. |
