It Can Be Hard To Justify Purchasing A Well Maintained Home With Finishes You Do Not Like
By Scott Rogers • April 30, 2024
Sometimes we'll go in a house that has finishes you don't like... but the house hasn't had very many updates in 20 - 30 years, and is priced appropriately given those needed updates. Many buyers can get excited about buying such a home... you can make the updates over time and make selections to make the updated finishes and features match your tastes. But sometimes... we'll go in a house that has finishes you don't like... and that house will have been meticulously updated over time. The expansive kitchen with two year old cabinetry -- of a color or style you just don't like. The flooring throughout the main level that was replaced a year ago -- and is not at all what you would have selected. The challenge in purchasing a well maintained home with finishes that you don't like is that you often feel you have two less than desirable options... 1. Buy the house, don't make further changes, live with finishes you don't love. 2. Buy the house, make further improvements, replacing finishes you don't like with those that you do, taking out reasonably nice finishes and fixtures that just weren't your style. As you can see, neither of these options is particularly compelling... which causes many such would-be buyers to just not buy the house at all.
