[quote=briansd1]…Bearishgurl seems overly focused on the improvements that may or may not have any value to a potential buyer. This focus adds emotional elements that don’t have much place in rational decision making.
I don’t think that cosmetic improvement such as a kitchen remodel “deserve” to be recouped. Adding square footage or adding a new bath, yes. But, after a decade, a cosmetic remodel is worthless anyway, IMO…[/quote]
I never stated anywhere that sellers should recoup ALL of their improvements. The “cosmetic improvements” on the subject we’re discussion here claimed in the listing detail to have been completed in the last 3 years. It is obvious that these particular sellers recouped little to NOTHING from any “cosmetic” and other investments they made.
