What “extras” will you get when buying a home?

I’ve often referred my readers to Kristal Kraft’s Denver blog because I love the photos she takes of the gorgeous terrain they have there. They say that people are either beach or mountain people. I’m a mountain person no doubt about it. That’s probably because I’ve never had a body suitable for the beach plus I’ve never recovered from the Jaws movie. I traveled to Colorado a few times in my previous career and find the state to be magnificent for its views and wonder.

Anyway, back to Kristal’s blog. She just wrote a great – and fun – post about what “property” actually conveys when buyers purchase a home. With all the extra wildlife they have in the Rocky Mts, buyers often buy more than just the property. You must read her recent post. Wait till you see the awesome photo at the end of the post.

While we don’t have some of the wildlife that Denver has, we do have sellers who may feed birds who wonder what the birds will do if the new buyers choose to not feed them. The birds come to rely on filled feeders, especially during the winter. If the new buyer doesn’t continue that feeding, the birds must find another food source. If that means moving into another flock’s territory, they may not fare so well. If you will be buying such a home, perhaps you can do what the buyer in Kristal’s post is doing by weaning them off the reliance of the food source. OR maybe you can just continue to feed the birds and be ready to enjoy their antics or their babies next spring.
