In response to "Feedback from first showing of old house: carpet in one bedroom not matching the rest of upstairs turned them off." by TWuG, ten-stone griddle-chip

I'm on team buyer.

that's an immediate and costly fix that people might not want to pay immediately given how much other stuff will add up.

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
