Pahrump, NV where I live is HOT in the summer so I guess you know what we got in the backyard: a pool. My friend Marge has one and so does her son Dwayne's parents. But imagine my SHOCK when I read some crackpot write that "Having a swimming pool will automatically limit your market when it
comes time to sell."

Well not in Pahrump! Here is the list of other bad things this know-it-all listed:

1. 1. A pool

2. No garage or small garage

3. Garbled floor plan

4. Outmoded appliances or systems

5. Stale or overly personal decor

6. A bad roof

7. Bad location

8. Poor maintenance

9. Environmental hazards

10. A long list of needed home improvements

Most of this is so OBVIOUS. Here is the list of 10 good things:

1. An updated kitchen

2. Modern bathrooms

3. A well-appointed master suite

4. Natural materials

5. Curb appeal

6. A light, airy spacious feel

7. Good windows

8. Landscaping

9. Lots of storage

10. Basement
