If the real estate landscape is a buyer's market, than this also means it can be a seller's worst nightmare.
Staggering drops in home values in recent years are here to stay for the foreseeable future, which means homeowners looking to sell must do whatever they can do raise the value of their property when selling.
One incredibly cost-effective solution is crown molding.
Crown molding adds an air of elegance to any room. It's one of those details that a prospective buyer notices immediately, like hardwood floors or granite counter tops, albeit considerably less expensive to add to your home.
And for the homeowner obviously looking to contain costs while not skimping on quality, there are now bendable and removable crown molding systems that can be installed in literally a snap.
"Much of our residential business comes from homeowners looking to spruce their house up for sale," said Todd Rowohlt, President of RowlCrown, which developed an innovative patent pending design and specifically engineered locking system for effortless crown molding installation. "Realtors will often list crown molding as a key selling point of the house."
Along with such additions as fiberglass columns, decorative corbels, ceiling medallions, corbels, window and door casings, comparing homes with and without crown molding is a no-brainer -- buyers will have little hesitation in paying premium price for a home that has been staged properly and includes these types of ornamental features.
Products like RowlCrown (www.rowlcrown.com) make it easy and affordable for more homeowners to add this feature to their home. These are durable (often made of extruded PVC), can be painted any color, and look completely "real" (like wood). They literally snap into place, and can also serve as a wiring conduit for cabling for home sound systems and home theaters, detaching and re-attaching in just seconds.
First impressions matter in the real estate business, and nothing makes a greater first impression than walking into a home and witnessing the class and elegance of crown molding.
