One of the great feelings we had last year was when our house sold in two days on the market for full price. Yes, two days!! This was at a time when houses were sitting. In fact, there were several houses on the street for sale for the year; one, built by the same builder but a little bigger and nicer -- it had seventy showings and no offers.

The offer on our home came in so quickly with the following condition: all porch swings convey. We had four daybed style porch swings in various spots of our home. It had been a great spot for us and our seven kids! The porch swings were a big part of the sale of our home at the price and in the time we desired. I hadn’t thought of porch swings as a tool to sell a home, but if nothing else, it’ll make you popular among your friends and establish you as a neighborhood authority in style. :)
