PAGE T4-PLAINDEALER-FRID Y, JANUARY 12, 1973 REAL Real Estate Today By C. Ted Hill Realtor ooooooooooooooooooooooooo FALLING FOR FRILLS Many people go house­ hunting in a remarkably casual way-and sometimes end up making costly mis­ takes. One of the mis­ takes a househiunter can make is to buy the frill instead of the house. All too often a family will fall in love with an eye-catch­ ing feature and buy the wrong house. This mis­ take happens frequently and in all price ranges. Families skip over care­ ful consideration of the ma­ jor factors because some­ thing minor has really grabbed them. The lure may be a charming fire­ place, a glamourous light­ ing fixture, a garage door opener, or even a dogwood in bloom. Yielding to superficial attractions like these can result in your family wind­ ing up with a thofoughly unsuitable house. Bear in mind that these same al­ luring features can usual­ ly be added to another house at a relatively small cost, considering the a- mount of the overall pur­ chase. i*E * * • * Mr. Hill is Past President of the McHenry County Board of Realtors.
