Another Real Estate that has me scratching my head....

I really loathe the photos that are like this. Other than that, what do you think they should do? Reduce clutter? I agree with that. My friends showed their house when they were selling, and I commented that maybe they should pack up their knick knacks that they had on top of their cabinets in the kitchen. They said they still had to live there until it sold, so she didn't want to pack anything away. Which I get, but figured it'll be that much easier to pack it all away and less to have to pack when the house does sell. But that was their reason and it's their house.

I like this house despite the photos. Not a fan of the countertop in the kitchen or that weird wallpaper/mural above the sink. But other than that, I do like it.

It has good potential. Ditch all that clutter.

I agree with you. You can continue living in your house without knick knacks everywhere. Fair enough - don’t pack away stuff you use obviously but stuff that is purely decorative, I would definitely be putting away. Many people can’t see past clutter either, they don’t have the ability to imagine the space empty or with their own furniture so they’re helping it sell more easily when it’s less cluttered too.

Beyond the problem of the clutter, I take issue with the "bones" as well. There's no cohesive style. It's a bunch of disparate design features that don't marry up at all. I'd have to come close to gutting and starting over.

This one doesn't bother me. The hot pink bistro area is jarring to me, but I think I could see past the rest. I have a hard time imagining the 3D from the photos, though.

One thing I always wonder when there are tubs like that - how on earth do you clean behind there? I have 3 cats, it would be absolutely disgusting! (This is an honest question, since we are needing to remodel our bathroom and we've been looking at various options. I honestly think that most situations would not allow you to realistically clean those crannies.)

Can someone share the address? Redfin thinks I'm a bot for some reason.

Not for that price, but I see things I could work with here. I also hate the countertop in the kitchen, but maybe it would be not so bad with a white or off white paint instead of the black? And yes, remove the clutter please!

As an agent, all I can do is give them guidance on what typically makes a house sell faster and show better. But I can't make them do anything. And despite all the advice about de-personalizing the space, people are very attached to their homes and for many, taking down personal effects feels very mentally jarring and uprooting

There is much I love about the house. Most of the changes are cosmetic.

One of the things I love is how private the back yard appears to be.

Eh. With enough money I could make it into something but I dont know I would want to mess with it. It feels like every design decision was made on a whim with no thought to how it would flow with everything else.

I actually kind of like the house/decor. It is a bit over the top, but it kind of gives me a "happy" feeling. I love that child's room, with the wicker chair in the corner. And that white bathroom looks awesome. Would love a walk-in shower like that. Maybe once the furniture is all gone, the house won't look so "busy". I would have to repaint some of the walls though, especially that bright pink.

That would give me hives. I need calm in my home. I’d really have trouble looking past all that. Such crap photography too. I wouldn’t bother looking at it.

Aww, they made it their space and filled it with things they love. Seems like a happy place, even if it's not my style. I like maximalist but moreso when it's cohesive.

It all seems like pretty easy fixes other than the tile...i don't like the black hexes with the glossy blue and shiny black squares of the floor. Too many different styles of tile.
