We are getting ready to sell our house and the realtor wants us to paint everything boring colors and it's killing me. She mentioned white was a good choice lol.
I can't wait to get in my new place and paint it so I can feel normal again. Who wants to be surrounded by boring white walls all day
Same. Been arguing with the realtor and wife over the same issue. I mean, who the fuck wants painted white cabinets over a nice stained wood? Whoever buys the house is going to have a hell of a time sanding it off.
I went through this last year and was pretty gutted by the process... at first.
When the final bill came in for all the renovations and prep for sale, we just added it to the list price. Our realtor's thinking was that we could entice buyers with something that is turn-key, rather than just doing the bare minimum. It was boring looking, but you wouldn't have to change anything because it was perfectly inoffensive, if not without flair. And the buyer gets to finance un-doing our to-taste changes along with the house. Win-win.
The key here was that our realtor had the float to finance the renovations, a crew that could do the work for a steal, and felt our home was a sure bet. YMMV.
Now, my new place... yeah. Still saving up to un-fuckulate what the last guy did.
It makes sense. You want a blank canvas.
Fuck that, let the new owners change it around. Let them build in material costs to their mortgage if they need to. Welcome to home ownership!
We sold our first house as is for 10k over asking, and it was flipped in two years. The new owners did a lot of reno on the place even though it didn't need much. They replaced carpet and painted cabinets and natural woodwork and that's it.
Had I put in the work of renovating before selling it would not have made a difference.
