The Top 10 Feng Shui Tips for Your Home,
Whether Selling or Staying

During the last 6 weeks, I have completed four feng shui consultations for people who wanted to sell their homes. Three sold their homes quickly and for good money, and with the 4th, they fell in love with their home all over again, and decided the timing wasn’t right to move.

What each had in common was that they waited until they were selling to make improvements to their homes.

In feng shui we work with the energy flow in the home, look at ‘missing’ areas and balance elements, but many simple feng shui enhancements are common sense and make a huge difference to the feeling of a home. Just as potential buyers pick up on the feeling of a home, this energy will be affecting you continuously. Why wait until you are moving to make your home and your life really work for you.

If you decided to put your home on the market today, what changes would you make. (If you are renting – imagine you own it.) What would you do to get the best price, without spending a lot of money. What would you suddenly find the time to do. What are you tolerating. Why not do it for yourself – aren’t you worth it.

1. Repair anything around your home that is broken or not working well.

Remove dead leaves from plants.

2. Fix all leaks immediately – inside and out.

These will be draining your finances.

3. Make a list of everything you are tolerating in your home and begin taking action on them.

4. How does your home feel as you approach it. Do you feel welcomed home. What is something small you could do that would make a big difference.

5. Make sure the pathway to your front door is clear of obstacles such as overgrown plants, boxes or newspapers.

6. Walk around the outside of your home. Is there an area of clutter anywhere.

This will be blocking your energy.

7. Begin clearing clutter from one room and continue around your house.

Clutter is anything unfinished, unused, unresolved, tolerated, or disorganized.

8. Check all doorways to make sure nothing is blocking them from opening fully.

Doors that stick or don’t open fully, stop the good energy entering.

9. Make sure the street number of your home is clearly visible from the street.

This will help money and opportunities find you.

10. Clean your house regularly.

This will keep the energy fresh.
