As a real estate agent, I often wonder where the 'home' buyers are, as opposed to the investment buyers. As much as we love our first home that we haven't really done anything to in the last 10 years, we almost got caught up in the 'move-up' frenzy a couple of years ago. I'm so glad we stayed in our home. It's got issues but it's ours, and it's the only home our son has known. After a financial crisis last year, I walk in the door every day and thank God for my wonderful home. P.S. We have a 'no shoes' policy and it saves a fortune on carpet cleaning.:) Great article.

I always wondered why people would have rooms they hardly ever used or enjoyed. Anyway, great article and good advice!

I grew up in a very "lived in" house and I remember sometimes when we would visit other peoples' homes they would be so nice, looked like museums, and the parents were extremely anal about leaving everything pristine. I remember thinking they were lucky to live in such nice places, now as I've gotten older I realize it was just the opposite. I make a good living but intentionally try to not make my home fancy, I just try to make it comfortable and live in it comfortably. As far as the things you mentioned I agree completely, except on the no shoes on carpet policy, we don't have that policy in my house per se but we've made it a habit for no one to wear their shoes in the house. Of course there are times people do and we don't care, but for us that is part of the "comfort". Why drag in all the crap from the streets onto the carpet I want to be able to just lie down on if I feel like it. I agree completely.
