So… new listing. $525k. That’s NOT a window in the dining room. Several rooms with this exact style. Easily $50-70k of updates needed. Very easily.

That’s not a table and chairs. It’s also a painting.

Maybe don’t get rid of the paint and make that the straight lines the builders cut through the wall for an ACTUAL window

And?

Anyone can put whatever list price they want on a house. If they feel that their taste in decor is worth a premium, let them try and get that.

Or are you saying that this is cheap because the house will be worth a milly once renovated?

Is that carpet in a dinning room?

Tis!

Reminds me of my house when I moved in. Got it on a short sale with shiny metallic paint on like everything and gaudy crap hung/painted everywhere. And yes, also had white carpet I. The dining room.

I did a lot of the work myself on the painting and patching kinda stuff and even laid down new hardwood to replace carpet in the dining room to match the rest of the first floor.

Never done a lot of the stuff before, but watched YouTube vids and rented stuff to get the jobs done. If it’s been sitting a while and has the layout/area/bones you’re looking for, talk them down as if you’ll be getting pros to redo stuff and do whatever you can that’s easy enough and save more money.

We had to repaint an entire house that ALSO had white carpet in the dining room. Like the early 200”a called and want their dining room 😂Designs back please!
