The most common question we receive from our clients is:\u00a0<\/em>\u201cHow much is this worth?\u201d
\nTo answer that question, we\u2019ve invited estate sales expert Judy Johnson of\u00a0<\/em>
\nUnexpected Treasures<\/a>\u00a0to give her perspective on what\u2019s hot and what’s not.
\nHere\u2019s Part 1 of her 2-part report.<\/em>Baby boomers are selling their homes, and flooding the market with things they\u2019ve spent a lifetime collecting.<\/strong>
\nAntiques, furniture, china, cut glass, silver-plate, figurines and knickknacks — items families have accumulated over decades and generations \u2013 abound. It’s a buyer’s market — and there aren’t that many buyers. (Read: You’re going to get a lot less for your things than you expected.)<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s buyers are \u00a0young. Their lifestyles and tastes have changed<\/strong>.
\nThe younger generation wants\u00a0well-made<\/u>,\u00a0practical<\/u>\u00a0and\u00a0useful<\/u>\u00a0things. In place of antiques and heirlooms, their preference is for simplified, streamlined design. Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, and Restoration Hardware offer the looks that today\u2019s buyers love.<\/p>\n

Hot on the millennials list? Things from the 1950\u2019s. These things sell easily:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
