I just hate when the garage is the most prominent architectural feature of a house.

Update the house sold in Jan 2025 for $540,000 with nothing repainted. They eliminated the basement pics and took the comforter off one of the bedrooms.

You don’t have to cap the light fixture chandelier at the beginning, JUST remove the orange colored shades. Easy.

It’s so strange to me when people look at paint and furniture when shopping for a home. Like, the least important parts you could possibly focus on.

@latsnojokelee6434 2 years ago

Any home on the market that Long is usually because it was overpriced and they have had some lower offers and the sellers have refused them. So then eventually they start lowering the price but then at that point the realtors and buyers think there’s something wrong with the house because it’s been on the market for so long.

I have the traditional cherry hardwood floors. I love them, and I’m not ripping them out to put those trendy gray wood laminate floors in. That trend will pass soon.

There's a house in my town that has been up for sale for over 8 YEARS. They keep pulling it down and relisting it. It's just way too expensive for this area. They overbuilt and don't want to take the L.

@Starfish2145 2 years ago (edited)

They should stop dicking around and either repaint it or price it at 500 K

@JMelissaMc 2 years ago

That house would have been fine for me. I plan on repainting as soon as I get a house anyway. The only problem that I saw was that the houses were too close together, there was no side yard to give me distance from all of the noise and looks of the neighbors.

When looking to buy a house, the layout takes precedence over cosmetic concerns like peeling paint, color or decor choices. With my own decorating vision in mind, I prioritize finding a home with a layout that suits my needs and preferences.

@nogames8982 2 years ago

The very first thing I noticed from the exterior of the house is that the house is about 6 feet away from the neighboring house. On both sides. That would drive me absolutely insane. I don’t think I would’ve got past the first picture. I probably would’ve moved on to look at a different house.

@MJ-my9sg 2 years ago

I love color and had every room suited to me however when I was getting ready to sell it I hired painters to paint all walls neutral, sold immediately.

@olderandwiser22 2 years ago

When I look at that basement my first thought is "Oh my lord, they are going to leave all that junk for me to throw away!"

In addition... sometimes its not you but your agent.
Our house spent 6 months on the market.. its only 4 years old, in amazing condition, with neutral colors, powerwashed backyard and front, nice space, extremely beautiful neighborhood with mountain views and gorgeous flowers. And extremely fairly priced, even a little under because we needed it to sell quick v-v
Our first agent was suppose to be well known but she acted like our property was beneath her from day 1 but we sort of took it like we were being dramatic. She hardly communicated and kept blaming the market for lack of showings. Anyway.. 6 months go by and our contract with her expires. We got a new agent on the same weekend and 3 days later, our house sold. We had more viewings in those 3 days than we had 6 months with the old one... unreal.

Colour is in the eye of the beholder. I once bought a house with a bright yellow and lime green kitchen. A few months afterwards, I found out that the lady who lived there before me had a cataract operation. She had no idea how bright the colours were.

I have even seen orange and navy walls.

Many years ago my inlaws were moving from Iowa to Florida. I suggested they remove the floor to celing wall paper mural of palm tree's near the beach. They had a huge finished basement that had dark green sheers and dark curtains over the relatively large windows, wood paneling and dark green shag wall to wall carpet. I suggested they remove the curtains, pull up the green carpet and install a light grey berber, and paint the paneling to open up the space and lighten it. In the large living room that had two sets of sliding glass doors that opened up to a deck. The sliding doors had. Sky blue sheers with a diy valance that was made from a short loop carpet with a blue/green pattern with ball fringe trim. Again, I suggested they take down the sheers and the valance because it really dated the house. In the kitchen I suggested that they install a new faucet and update the hardware on the cabinets. They used none of my suggestions and their house sat on the market for over a year. They decided to change realtors. Their new realtor made virtually the same recommendations which they followed and sold the house in less than 3 months!

@alyross2850 2 years ago

In this economy, I understand why people might buy the new construction over the older home at the same price. It’s too expensive to do anything major in a home. But there are a LOT of people who do not like these cheaply made mass builder homes. They would rather have an older brick home with wood and plaster. That’s me.

@lsmith1695 2 years ago

We have followed your advice about deep cleaning, neutral colors and staging before listing our house. We got four offers in the first week. We sold our house for above our list price. Thank you for all of your advice. It is worth the work for such a big payout! You know what you are talking about!!!

@susieinthesouth1931 2 years ago

There are some good points. The house isn't selling because the price is not correct but it also shows very outdated. The colors and tile in bathrooms look 30yrs in age. With a new build being slightly higher, people will go with the new build. As for the cluttered basement, get a storage unit and clean out that space. We did that the last time we sold.
