[quote=Anonymous]The first house we bought wasn’t staged, but the owner, an architect,  had great taste. It was not generic— he had vintage furniture from different eras, discussion pieces like an old Ms Pac-Man arcade console. The rooms were not white but artful shades. The giant master bedroom was espresso brown, a family room was a golden mustard. It was a rowhouse but the sunlight streamed in through large windows. The house was immaculate, but it had character. It was 2005. When we put it up for sale, we kept some accent walls in bright, or nonneutral shades but mostly had it freshly painted white bc that’s what the realtor told us we had to do. Many buyers said it needed work, which shocked us because it didn’t. But I think they were expecting the all white, built in 2023 condo look. Finally we put it up for rent, and several parties fell in love with it. The couple renting it now has called it perfect. We’ve encouraged them to make it their own with paint or peel off wallpaper, and they seem to be doing that. All to say, if your house has character and unique style, it may be hard to find a seller. If you do hold out, you might find people who live it and meet you at your price. (We’re happy to rent— the house was our first love!)[/quote]
