Feedback from first showing of old house: carpet in one bedroom not matching the rest of upstairs turned them off.

Carpet. Which can be changed.

I hate stupid people.

Responses:

usually i'm worried about whether it has a viable sub floor.. i'd be happy if this was the issue. - colin Jan 15, 09:48
I wonder what complaints those buyers would have for this house. -- (link) - Shaun Jan 15, 09:27
I'm on team buyer. - Will Hunting Jan 15, 08:30 11
- It's not like people will be traipsing through there all the time. So, it doesn't get done for a while. - zork Jan 15, 09:25
- Yeah, changing carpet is a lot more costly than something like paint colour, which people still get stupidly hung up on. -- nm - Shaun Jan 15, 08:39 9
  - I'm fully aware off-the-wall cost. We replaced basement and first floor carpet. There's zero wrong with the second floor carpet - TWuG, ten-stone griddle-chip Jan 15, 08:46 8
    - Let me know when cosmetic changes are free changes - Will Hunting Jan 15, 09:12 6
      - I'm fine if they ask for an allowance to make the change. But noting it as a reason not to buy is just silly. - TWuG, ten-stone griddle-chip Jan 15, 09:32 1
        
        Yeah, I might ask for it to be changed or so much money off the price. There is something else that they don't like about the place. -- nm - zork Jan 15, 09:41
      - i'm just always surprised when people think a house they are buying will match their own taste 100% in colour, etc. That just doesn't seem realistic - Andie Jan 15, 09:18 3
        
        Yep. - kelly Jan 15, 10:32
        
        I agree...but if something is not uniform, it's a drawback to many - Will Hunting Jan 15, 09:24 1
        
        Counter point: you need to be prepared to spend money on a house to customize it. - Reagen Jan 15, 10:54
    - I demand granite for that room. -- nm - shithead buyers Jan 15, 08:49
People will be insane in their comments. Don't let it bug you. -- nm - Reagen Jan 15, 08:26 2
- coming from you - this is hilarious - Epiphany Jan 15, 09:02
- Not bugged so much as just bemused. People are so freaking emotional about cosmetic stuff - TWuG, ten-stone griddle-chip Jan 15, 08:52
