Elaborate on the condition of the house?

The landscape is terribly neglected and overgrown, the house is dirty, the windows havn’t been cleaned in this apparently very dust area. I didn’t go inside, but if the condition inside is anything like the outside we might have a canditate for the “Worst Pictures in MLS Contest” thread.

They’re asking 3/4 mil for this place. It should look halfway decent in my opinion.

As far as vacancy causing wear, if the furnace or AC hasn’t been started recently seals can become dry and decompose, dirt accumulates in toilet bowls and water lines. Although this area is quite dry, condensation and mold can accumulate. Ever go into a house that has been vacant for a while? There is a characteristic odor that can take months to dissipate. I’m sure these problems are far worse in PA where I used to sell, with the terrible winters and all, but ask any realtor on this forum, I’m sure they will confirm what I’m talking about.

Obviously if humans are bent on destruction they can do far more damage, but vacancy makes a house look much worse than if it were occupied.

So get a credit to replace toilet bowls, paint & replace carpets & drapes, if necessary, & have ducts blown out. Yard was maintained.

Heavy smokers had occupied my home one year+ prior to the time I bought it. The smell of cigarettes hit me in the face when the realtor opened the front door.

I got a great deal on it – one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life! Neighborhood & schools are deal-breakers for me – not poor upkeep.

Anything cosmetic is minor, but at that price, I understand hesitation. As long as there isn’t some of things mentioned on other threads, crap and urine, water turned on and closed the door or cement down the drain, etc. then nothing a gardener, painter can’t take care of, get the ducts blown, etc.

If there’s mold, then that’s a problem. Cigarette smell would make me nauseaus having to breathe that. That permeates the drywall, etc.

I understand a lot of that stuff is minor, but it sure doesn’t help to sell your million-dollar crap box. The overall effect of the outward appearance of the place was to make it look much older than it is, and it makes the rest of the homes in the neighborhood look older too.

I guess I should be thankful, this place is making the whole area cheaper, which is what I really want anyway. As you know jp, 4S is still on our radar screen. Commute may be a pain, but it has more options than Scripps to downtown.
