But, blue carpet is a drawback.
It comes down to whether you really want to sell the property. If you do, then change the carpet.
If you are just seeing if you 'can' sell it to buy this other house, you probably won't be able to sell it.
And, the less your agent senses your committment, the less work they will put into it. Being an agent is a comissioned based business. No since working hard for someone who isn't committed to selling their house.
If you are looking to move, now is a great time. Even if you miss the house you are aiming for now, this is one of the best times in recent years to move up in a house.
Oh, and, you may want to think about leasing the property out, depending on your debt to income ratio and if you have other money to put down.

It is either this house or no house. We were not looking and there are no other houses that are a step that we can afford other than this one.

You should be able to get it for less than $2.00 per square foot. I usually get it installed around 1.50 per square foot with new pad and everything... and I don't go with the cheapest carpet.

Went to 3 different stores today and the cheapest we could get for 2 rooms was 1800 installed. Only 600 sq feet too.
