“If you don’t maintain your home, it won’t maintain its beauty and appeal,” says Amy Bloomer, owner of Baltimore, MD-based home organizing company Let Your Space BLOOM, LLC. “Like any other relationship, over time you get used to it and take it for granted.” Avoid this complacency, Bloomer says; continue to make your home a place you love, keep up — even in small ways — and take pride in. You'll thank yourself when it comes time to sell.
