We looked at our current home on an open house. It had sculpted fucia carpet in some parts of the house. Bubble gum pink paint, in the bedrooms, a kitchen with white cabinets covered with bumble-bee yellow spots. The place was decorated like a Las Vegas wedding chapel. My wife said she 'would never live in this house."
Several months later we were driving through the same neighborhood and saw that the house was still for sale, but was empty and had a sheriff's notice on the door. The home had never sold, and went into forclosure. We picked it up for $18k less than the previous owner was asking, plus the bank agreed to pay for new carpet and paint before closing.
So no, don't change the carpet.
