I think it started with the need for objective guidance from people who don't necessarily know the intimacies of your current anxiety, but whose non-judgemental comments remind you where you're at, where you're going etc.
I recently decided, after trying to sell my house for about 18 months, that I needed to "re-present" my property in a different way - it's now de-listed for a few months to change curtains, lighten and brighten the rooms, realign furniture, sort, pack and store some personal and non-essential belongings better, restore some resemblance of order, and present a perception of ease, comfort and pleasentness about my immediate environment.
It's hard living in the home that you're trying to sell and have everything about you - I've seen some people live for ages under extreme stress because they were told to clear out their homes for a better market presentation, and they missed their personal "treasures".
It just so happens that my "stars" have been hinting at a major change in lifestyle.
I intend to present my place as an easy, calm place in which others could start a new home, surrounded by bright and cheerful homeliness within a peaceful, unique and attractive environment.
Also, recent changes to property/tax regulations will realize a change in market expectations!
