| Clear the clutter from your Lexington home! |
As a Lexington real estate agent, I always recommend that
Lexington homeowners declutter their homes. Studies show that a
decluttered home causes increased happiness and health among homeowners. Also,
a decluttered home is essential when selling your Lexington home! A
messy, cluttered home is never appealing to a buyer!
However, did you realize that a cluttered Lexington home
could also cost you money? Whether it’s a lost bill you forgot to pay, or spoiled
food that you wasted money on, clutter is no friend to your bank account.
To give you more examples, HouseLogic broke it down room by room.
1. If you have clutter in your home office, or wherever you
keep papers and mail, you could lose paper and spend time and money on
duplicates. If you misplace bills, you’ll be charged late fees and your bad
credit will cause higher interest rates. If you miss tax deadlines, you are
charged penalties.
2. If your closets are disorganized, missing or forgotten
clothes could mean money spent on duplicate items. A cluttered, knotted mess of
accessories means wasted money, because you can’t find what you’re looking for
or don’t wear them because of the hassle!
3. Disorganization in the kitchen means a more probable chance
of food expiring, which is wasted money, and you’ll have to buy new food sooner.
A cluttered pantry means you can’t see what you have, so you might end up with
duplicates. Crammed cabinets means you are overspending on dishes and gadgets.
4. A cluttered living room means lost keys or wallet, which
could make you late to work and means loss of cash. If you can’t fully relax in
your Lexington home, because of the clutter, you’ll spend more money to have
fun outside of the home. Blocked ventilation means increased energy costs.
For more details on how clutter is causing you to spend
more, check out the HouseLogic article in its entirety.
Hopefully now, you see the importance of decluttering your
Lexington home from a new angle! It’ll help you sell your Lexington home, it
could make your life happier and healthier, and it could save you money.
