Curb appeal is the first impression buyers get when they see your home. But sometimes they don’t even get a chance to see your actual home because their eyes first land on the fence that surrounds it.

Bathrooms have been steadily increasing in size over the past thirty years, and today s average bathroom is twice as large as bathrooms of the 1970s. However, bathrooms can be difficult to expand in existing houses without knocking down walls. With the bathroom consistently ranked either at the top or close to it in homebuyer consumer preference surveys, recent products announcements aimed at the room s functionality, style and safety may help builders move more product. Ultimately, these, and other products, give the consumer what they want most: choice.

A new client of mine was recently confronted by her broker. He didn’t understand why she hired me to do a complete Marketing Makeover. She and I have been working to create a strong brand identity for her, but he said to her, “Why do you need to spend money on that? We as a company already have marketing materials that you can use.”

We can’t ignore it any longer: celebrities are taking the foreclosure hit, too. The latest celebrity is former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield. A legal notice that appeared in a local newspaper shows his Fayette County, GA estate is under foreclosure. The 104-room, 54,000-square-foot home worth an estimated $10 million and is to be auctioned by a bank on July 1.

Luxist has even created a celebrity foreclosure list with a great little foreclosure slideshow of the affected celebs, which includes Jose Canseco, Aretha Franklin, Latrell Sprewell, Michael Jackson, and others. L.A. Land has their own list of celebrity foreclosures, too. Earlier this week, Johnny Carson’s sidekick, Ed McMahon commanded the headlines. Who’s next?

It’s not news to anyone that in much of the country, the housing market has seen better days.  We’ve written on this blog a few times about some of the more creative things sellers are doing to help market their homes to potential buyers, adding various incentives along the way.  But this is a first. 

 A developer in the San Diego area recently offered home buyers a free, 2,000 square foot home in Escondido if they purchased a home in the Royal View Estates development in the San Pasqual Valley of San Diego.  These homes start at $1.6 million.  Check out more details on San Diego Channel 10 site, including a news clip. 

Interested?  Sorry, but we’re a little late to the game as the deal ended on May 31st.  I have a feeling, however, that this isn’t the last deal of this type we’ll be seeing.

 Thanks to the LA Land blog for bringing this story to our attention!

Wow, Jay Thompson knocked it out of the park with the 93rd edition of the Carnival of Real Estate, posted at Phoenix Real Estate Guy. As a result of feedback he received from Kelley Koehler on Twitter, this week’s theme was Mexican food. There are 10 posts (or should we say Mexican meals?) highlighted with the pick of the week, dubbed “The Big Enchilada,” going to Dan Melson at Searchlight Crusade for his post “Is The Good Faith Deposit At Risk?” Jay even delivers his notes on the runners-up. Check out the rest!

The carnival will make its next appearance on Monday, June 9 at Mike’s Corner. Please submit your best post by Sunday June 8, to be considered. Are you a real estate blogger and would like to host a future edition? If so, get instructions on how to do so here. Please check the complete FAQ list if you have other questions as to how to participate in the Carnival of Real Estate.

Carnival Of Real Estate #93

Inman’s Real Estate Connect has long been regarded as one of the most popular real estate industry conferences, as it provides an excellent opportunity to network with others in the industry, particularly bloggers.

The folks at Inman News have been kind enough to provide us with 3 prepaid conference tickets, valued at $779 apiece, to Inman Connect in San Francisco July 23-25 to give away to real estate professionals of our choice. We thought, what better way to decide who is most deserving than to hold our own little competition?

So, what is required of you for a chance to win?

Write a consumer-focused blog post explaining how you use Zillow and have it posted by Monday, June 23rd. Possible topics you could write about include:

• Using Zillow to find your dream home
• How to use Zillow Mortgage Marketplace to obtain a loan
• Using Dueling Digs to find remodeling ideas

Helpful hints:

• Be creative! How original is your suggestion?
• Be useful! Will your suggestion really help home owners, sellers or buyers?
• Be clear! How effectively did you communicate your idea?

Spencer Rascoff, Zillow’s CFO and VP of Marketing will choose the 3 posts he likes the most (with some input from the rest of the Zillow Blog team) and award the tickets to the authors of those posts. Should you win, you will need to cover the cost of your accommodation and travel to San Francisco.

As an added bonus, the three lucky winners will also be treated to lunch or dinner with a few of us from Zillow and Joel Burslem from Inman News (date and time TBD).

Chances are we’ll read your post in the blogosphere, but to be certain, please either trackback to this post or leave a comment with a link to your post so that we are aware of your submission.

Happy blogging!

Girls just wanna have fun, especially during the (paid) workday. When the women of the Zillow marketing team started dreaming about attending the Sex and the City movie premiere as a “team morale” outing, I eagerly volunteered to pre-purchase the tickets. It was the least I could do, considering the premiere has been on the PR calendar for months, next to official product launches and actual work deadlines. Little did I know this would be one of the most insane female experiences of my life.

Picture this: Over 150 crazy women, wrapped around the outside of Seattle’s Big Picture movie theater. No Pacific northwest polar fleece in this crowd, the unofficial dress code was strictly stilettos and a shirt dresses. In true Sex and the City style, I noted an abundance of Mirandas present, professional power women rapidly dictating orders on their Blackberries. In contract, there were some Bugaboo pushing Charlottes in Lululemon sweat suits, trying to snag tickets for the entire PEP’s group. Finally, there were the Carries: cool, calm, and collected while patiently reading the New York Times Style section. No Samanthas were present, as I figured she has the hook-up already from one of her big-wig “friends.”

After two hours of intense girl time, I scored the very LAST tickets for premier day! I quickly darted out the door, for fear that the woman behind me may attack me with her Birkin bag. Seriously.

Now that the big day is finally here, the Zillow girls are ready for an afternoon of fun. If you’d like to join us for the next big chick flick premier, check out our job postings, along with some photos of other team morale activitieson our Flikr page. Cheers!
