The $30 Painting in the Hallway: What to Do Before You Price Anything in Your Parents' House

The $30 Painting in the Hallway: What to Do Before You Price Anything in Your Parents' House

$30 estate sale painting sold for about $1.3 million at auction. Here is what heirs should do before they price a house full of belongings.

The painting hung in a hallway that led to the garage of a doctor's house in Michigan. It was eight inches by eleven, a picture of ten seashells, and the price on it was $30.

A picker bought it at the estate sale in July. On October 1 it sold at Freeman's in New York for about $1.3 million.

Why Your Neighbor Sold in a Weekend Last Year and You Are on Day 60

Why Your Neighbor Sold in a Weekend Last Year and You Are on Day 60

The short answer: Almost every house that sits was priced wrong in its first two weeks. Every buyer shopping your price range sees your listing in the first ten to fourteen days. After that you are waiting on new buyers to trickle in one at a time.
