'move-in ready.'

agree, not a fan of having to tear up carpet either.



The food I've liked in my time is American country cookin'-Colonel Sanders 🇺🇸

People should just live in it for a month or two and see how much they "need" to change things then. I had planned on changing out my new house's crimson carpet for a favorite shade of blue, but I found that I got used to it, and now I actually prefer it.

Some of the things these hunters "HAVE to change" just seem ridiculous, don't they? I'm always thinking, wait till you're dealing with a catastrophic health issue and need money to pay bills; then we'll see how happy you are that you "retained your "standards."

Yes, people have a skewed view of what move-in ready really means. It means that everything functions as it should, not that things are your style or taste. When my husband and I were about to move into our current home, it was not functional. His ex-wife had left one bathroom with tile and backer board full of holes and literally falling down into the bathtub. And the other bathroom had no walls surrounding the tub-- just the studs. So neither could be used for showering and we had to quickly redo the second shower/tub area just to use it.
