By Polyana da Costa of Bankrate.com

 

You finally found the house of your dreams. You signed a contract and got approved for a mortgage. You've even hired the movers. Now comes the most important part: the closing.

7 Springtime Home Spruces to Boost Buyer Interest

By Tara Nelson 

 

One of the first things many homebuyers look for are the unmistakable signs of something called 'pride of ownership.' As a whole, it's a relatively intangible concept: there are just homes that have it - reeking of their owners' love and meticulous care for the property -- and homes that, well, don't.
