Walking into a house that smells like baking or cooking, with the exception of liver and cauliflower, smells homey and makes you feel welcome.

30 years ago when I put my Mt Vernon, Illinois house up for sale, the realtor insisted that we had bread baking in the oven when she showed the house. Something about the aroma of fresh homemade bread baking seems to lower the resistance of most prospective buyers. Timing the finish of the bread and offering a slice of buttered, fresh, warm, homemade bread to the prospect will sell just about any house to anyone. We sold all of our lawn and garden equipment and an extra car we had, along with the house, to the same buyer. I will always believe it was the bread.
