replaced the carpet, and the house solde in 30 days. Odd. never know what will turn off a buyer.


But yeah...if it were me buying a house, i wouldn't care what color it was; or what color walls were etc. easy fix to my taste etc

I think a lot of it is that people are weighing the cost with how much effort they'll have to put into it. If the place has blue carpet, and most people won't like it, then everyone walks into the place thinking "OK, so is this worth the amount of effort it will take us to fix it."

That's my point. They can keep looking and for the same price they can get what they want.
