An analogy I like to use is windows, the energy efficiency of windows along with the impact resistance and UV shading has come pretty far just in the last 10 years.

Maple Shade (asylum) is mentioned multiple times!

If people know what you are looking for they know what to try and hide and how to shade their story.

I've been doing this for over 12 years.One last comment: you hate your current electrician job and want to quit, I get it, but make sure that you are truly running towards something, and not just running away from something ... been there, done that, and the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence, just a different shade of brown.

Are we talking the hours that there are daylight so you can accurately see the paint job and now be influenced by the shading of artifical light?

The difference in the brick vs siding on your house could be made more appealing through good use of a darker color with white trim.

agreed, don't paint the brick. you can allow the new owners to make that decision, or maybe dye it to be a more modern color like a darker brown or darker gray (i'm not a fan of red brick inside). and paint the bright brass black. but i LOVE the mid century style, it's very cool!

Paint the door an interesting pop of color, but still something that would appeal to most people, maybe a shade of red, burgundy or eggplant.I have a duplex with the same design, brick bottom and siding top with shutters.

I just refinanced my mortgage to be a shade over $1400 a month, down from $1600 a month.

The roof looked to have darker spots on portions of the roof but the description says "newer roof" etc..
