Getting a feel for sensory homebuyersBy Tara-Nicholle NelsonInman News Service

Editor's note: This is the first part of a five-part series on sensory home-buying.

Between my husband and my son, I'm out-numbered by boys at home. What that meansin terms of my daily living experience is thatoften I'll wake up, stumble to the espressomachine, and realize that every single kitchencabinet, half the drawers and sometimes eventhe fridge and freezer doors are standing wideopen -- even though no one is in the kitchen!My family knows that about that time iswhen I yell, "What is this -- the SixthSense?!"

(In the Bruce Willis film, the young HaleyJoel Osment, who "sees dead people" sitsdown to breakfast and, in the seconds it takeshis mom to leave and return to the kitchen,Haley Joel's deceased cronies manage toleave every kitchen door gaping wide,prompting the boy's mom to have an "a-ha"realization that perhaps things ain't as theyseem.)

In real estate, there's also a sixth sense and,in most cases it has nothing to do with seeingdead people. We'll get there, I promise, butthat will be in a few weeks. Before we cantruly go there, let's talk about the first fivesenses and the role(s) they play in home buy-ing and selling.

This year, to a much more significant de-gree than others, I've observed as my buyerclients harness all of their senses as they"view" properties. Our house hunts are trans-formed from property "showings" to much

more detailed, sensory experiences -- simplyby the way they process input from thehomes themselves.

I think this might be due to the fact thatthese buyers have overcome so much adver-sity and naysaying just to even opt into theconcept of buying a home in this volatilemarket, and so they tend to be a slightly moreintense flavor of person, and they seem to betaking the experience as a life passage ratherthan simply as a business transaction.

These "sensory homebuyers," in my expe-rience, glean exponentially more informationthan the primarily visual buyer. To boot, afterthe first few homes, I don't believe that thesensory homebuyer necessarily spends thatmuch more time exploring properties than thebuyer who simply "views" them. This is notabout quantity of time, per se -- it's moreabout what they do with the time they spendin their prospective homes. It parallels thedifference between wine tasting and frat-house guzzling, to paint a visual.

There's wisdom inherent in the sensoryhomebuyer's process. Some buyers are in-clined, due to their personal sense of urgencyor time constraints, to dash through housesand units on what I like to call a "cardiohouse hunt."

Sellers and listing agents can use thisglimpse inside not only the thoughtprocesses, but also the part-psychological,part-chemical sensation experiences ofhomebuyers, to glean insights into how toprepare and market their homes for sale at topdollar. .

This week, boys and girls, let's talk aboutthe sense of sight. The problem with sight inreal estate is that buyers and sellers tend tooveremphasize it to the neglect of the othersenses. Sellers wisely throw some RalphLauren colors on the walls, agents push somePottery Barn furnishings in the place and,voila -- what one of my clients used to call"the vortex of cuteness" is born.

This is certainly blameless and, even, ad-visable on the seller's side -- it's a course ofaction designed to create the largest ROI (re-turn on investment) per homepreparation/staging dollar. Least money spentwith largest buyer-attraction potential equals:ideal.

The reason my buyer called it the vortex ofcuteness, however, is instructive: It has thepower to suck you in! Buyers can behave ir-rationally once they get sucked into the vor-tex, compromising on points formerly knownas deal-killers and throwing money at a placebecause the toasted-taupe-with-eggshell-white-trims color scheme is just what theyenvisioned being surrounded by in theirwildest domestic dreams.

Smart sensory buyers can appreciate aes-thetic beauty in a home without gettingsucked into the vortex and making decisionscontrary to their best interests on the basis of"cute."

Smart sensory buyers also know that cuteis not always that expensive or onerous tocreate, and can see the value in doing so, es-pecially when the home is in fundamentallygood condition and/or has other ideal charac-

teristics. Smart sensory buyers also look a lotdeeper than the superficially cute. They opendoors and drawers, look around the neighbor-hood sometimes at varying hours of day anddays of the week, and look at elements likeroofing and windows, not just for good paintcolors and bamboo floors.

Being a sensory homebuyer can be a zenexperience. It requires that the buyer -- andthe agent, to some extent -- be very presentin the moment of the property visit. This is achallenge for many homebuyers who tend towant to visualize the future the whole timethey are in a place -- where furniture will go,what holiday dinners will be like, and soforth.

Those are all very worthy and necessaryanalyses, but incomplete ones in the absenceof a deeply sensory understanding of theproperty. Beyond being present, sensoryhomebuying also requires stillness. In still-ness, you can see wall cracks and foundationfissures, but also the charm of classic built-ins, promise and potential, and beautiful, nat-ural views where they are not obvious ortouted as such. In stillness you can also ex-perience sound on a number of dimensions,thoroughly deeper than those baroque CDsthe listing agent put on before the openhouse. Next week, we'll explore the variousdimensions of sound perceived and processedby sensory homebuyers, some of whichmight surprise you.

By Bill & Kevin BurnettInman News Service

Q: I used hot water to remove old wallpa-

per in a bedroom, which caused "bubbling"

or blistering of the drywall. Apparently, I used

too much moisture and seem to have lifted the

texture on the drywall. Do I scrape it and

apply new texture and if so, what is the best

method? It is affecting only parts of two walls

in the bedroom and would not involve the

whole walls, just areas. What is the best

method to go about this?

A: Making holes in walls while removing

wallpaper is part of the job. Getting the wall-

paper off is only the beginning, as you're

about to find out. You're right; wetting the

walls caused the bubbling. The paper "skin"

of the drywall became saturated and released

from the gypsum core. The fix will take some

work, but it's relatively simple.

Before even thinking about tackling the

bubbles, make sure the wallpaper paste

residue is off the walls. A good sponge-wash-

ing with TSP (trisodium phosphate) will take

care of this. For stubborn particles use a

Scotch-Brite pad. Mix the TSP with water ac-

cording to package directions. Use a sponge

to wash the walls and remove the paste

residue. Once the paste is all off, rinse the wall

with clean water.

Scrape off the bubbles with a 4-inch dry-

wall knife. Try not to gouge the walls, but

make sure to get all the loose material off.

Then it's time to patch.

We like to use a fast-setting joint compound

like Durabond 45. It allows you to work at a

steady pace but doesn't hold up progress wait-

ing for the mud to dry. Durabond 45 is a pow-

der that is mixed with water and sets hard in

about 45 minutes. Mix only enough material

that you can comfortably apply in 15 to 20

minutes. Any more time and the mud starts to

harden and is tough to work. Patch the holes

using a 4-inch drywall knife. Smooth it as best

you can, but don't work it too much. Sand the

patches smooth between coats with 150-grit

sandpaper. It will probably take a couple of

coats to complete the job. With the wall

sanded smooth, it's ready for the finish of your

choice: smooth wall; texture; or more wallpa-

per.

Q: Your column about removing vintage

wallpaper was great -- very detailed and spe-

cific. I have a different wallpaper question.

One of our bathrooms has painted walls (latex

enamel) with quite a bit of texture. I would like

to wallpaper that room using striped paper

and I think that would look messy over tex-

tured walls. What should I do?

A: Do not paper over the texture. The walls

will look like they have bad case of acne. The

answer is to make the bumpy walls flat by ap-

plying a skim coat of joint compound over the

entire wall. The good news is that it's defi-

nitely a do-it-yourself job and not that tough

to do.

It brings up a blast from our past. When

Mom was newly widowed, she moved from

the family home to a condo. We've mentioned

from time to time that our dad was a master

plasterer. All the walls in that house were

smooth plaster of the highest quality. Many of

the walls were wallpapered. Mom wanted

wallpaper on the textured walls in her bed-

room. She hired a local painting contractor to

come in and skim coat over the texture to

smooth out the walls. He then primed the

wall, sized it and wallpapered. We didn't care

much for her paper selection, but he did a

good job. It looked good and it lasted.

The first step is to lightly sand the wall to

cut down the gloss of the paint and provide

some "tooth" to the surface. Skim coating is

pretty easy. Use regular premixed joint com-

pound. Thin it with water until it's the consis-

tency of honey. It will spread smoothly and

easily. Apply the joint compound over the en-

tire wall with a broad knife -- 8 inches or

more. Let it dry and sand it with 150-grit

sandpaper. Repeat the process. It will proba-

bly take three coats of mud to get the wall per-

fectly smooth and ready for primer and

wallpaper.
