Trying to sell since 2017?! What’s wrong?

[Anonymous]

I have looked at this house since we started house hunting earlier this year and can’t believe the original price was $2.2m in 2017 and now it’s $1.35m?! I would never buy it because one of our no go’s is to not live on a busy road. But plenty of houses sell on busy roads so it can’t be a deal breaker for everybody. I also think the paint job is hideous, but still.

Is there really no buyer for this sized house in Arlington at this price point?

The choices of lighting, tile, trim, etc. are kind of terrible.

It's an okay house, massive for the price, but then imagine what the utilities are.

My goodness the trim and the ceiling trays are awful.

Let me get this straight- the new owners would have to tear down 2 sides of the house and move them back 9” or more? I wonder what that would cost.
The basement looks like a giant bathroom.

Now that's a teardown. Check out the Google street map—what a monstrosity.

If I had more money, I'd buy it and put up a house that fits the neighborhood in its place. Maybe a nice 1750 square foot brick ranch.

I walk past it all the time. It's pretty terrible. It would require so much money to fix the weird issues that it would be easier just to buy a different house.

That house is pretty ugly but the grey trim makes it 1000 times worse. If they would just paint the trim it may not be quite as hideous. If I were in the market in that location I'd probably offer them $650k and see what happens.

I just can’t figure out why the current owners didn’t tear down and rebuild when they bought the place. A new, proper McCraftsman, even on a busy street, would fetch at least $1.4 in this neighborhood. Instead they dumped money into putting lipstick on this pig.

That is one weird house. And the marble-floor basement — wtf is up with that? It looks like a super tacky illicit nightclub. In a residential neighborhood in N. Arlington.
