Cover story: Overdecking halls may turn off buyers


By Lisa Rauschart
The Washington Times

In many neighborhoods throughout the Washington area, nothing says community more than streetwide decorating, when just about everyone on the block gets together and starts stringing up holiday lights. But decorating for the holidays can take on a life of its own, whether you are coordinating your displays of twinkling white lights with your neighbor or taking a more individual approach with pulsating colors and inflatable snow globes on the lawn.

If, however, you are trying to sell your home, holiday decorating can be a horse - or a reindeer - of a different color. In that case, Realtors say, homeowners seeking to showcase the holiday spirit need to exhibit something else - restraint.

"Keep it simple," says Susan Mekenney of Re/Max in Alexandria, Va. "We tell people to declutter anyway, and holiday decorations are no exception."

In other words, show off your home, not your decorations.

"You want the decorations to embellish the house, not overwhelm it," says Kristie Zimmerman, a Realtor with Avery-Hess Realtors of Northern Virginia. "Overdecorating and clutter may make the house look smaller and be reflected in the purchase price."

Some Realtors, such as Darrin D. Davis, principal broker and owner of Anacostia River Realty in Southeast Washington, caution that any decorating could make the wrong impression.

"I tell people that everyone who comes by to see the house might not celebrate Christmas," Mr. Davis says. "We try to have the houses as neutral as possible."

Anacostia bridge building in new phase



So far, most of the visible work on the District's biggest transportation project has been done in the middle of the Anacostia River and on its east bank. Now, drivers on the Southeast-Southwest Freeway are going to get close to the construction of the new 11th Street Bridge.

Over the next two weeks, contractors are scheduled to drive piles in the freeway median east of 11th Street SE. This is an early phase in the construction of a ramp to the freeway from the new inbound span, one of three that will be part of rebuilt bridge. Two of the spans will carry freeway traffic across the river. The third is meant for neighborhood to neighborhood traffic, including bikes, pedestrians and streetcars. The entire project, now more than 25 percent done, is scheduled for completion in 2013.

This next phase involving the pile driving is scheduled for 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays over the next two weeks.
