When All Else Fails in the Real Estate Market, Try the Metaphysical
In a previous blog post, “What You Can Do to Help Your Home Appraise Better,” we discussed a number of things you can do to improve the value of your home, including repairs, maintenance, and upgrades.
But for some, that hasn’t proven to be enough. An increasing number of potential sellers feel that the problem isn’t the sluggish real estate economy or tight credit. They feel the problem is … bad vibes?
It’s true. According to an article on boston.com, “to clear away bad vibes caused by the swirl of anxiety, desperation, and loss encircling the market, local buyers, sellers, and agents have been turning to witches, psychics, intuits, mediums, feng shui consultants, and 2,000-year-old saints — among others — to perform house clearings and blessings, and to provide direction and a divine cloak of protection.”
Those who are part of this booming new trade say that these blessings and clearings remove remnants of stagnant negative energy that lingers after arguments, physical or mental pain, sickness, and other hardships.
But does it work? Well, practitioners cite drastic results, with houses that have sat idly on the market for months suddenly attracting multiple offers.
It’s certainly up to you, but before you bring in a figure dressed in black with an array of chains, bracelets, and dozens of earrings running up and down each lobe, holding a Michael the Archangel candle aloft, go the traditional route and hire an appraiser.
