[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If people would stop demanding turnkey houses, sellers wouldn't feel compelled to slap things together to meet this demand.  I will never understand why people can't use their imaginations and buy something that needs tweaking to meet their exact needs/tastes.  I saw my current house before the sellers held the open house.  In between those two visits, the sellers paid to install a brand new beige toilet in the white bathroom.  I wish they'd just left it alone because now I feel guilty about tearing out a brand new toilet even though it doesn't match.  Similarly, rejecting a house because it has light fixtures you hate means that you don't get to pick out the perfect new light fixtures yourself and instead must live with somebody else's choice. And you pass up lots of houses that might have been fantastic for your family.  It's about location, not an easily replaced faucet.[/quote]

Do you live in the area?  $500,000 buys you a tear down in places like Arlington. It’s not about light fixtures.  If I’m making $300,000 a year and carrying a $1 million loan,  I want to like my home without having to spend another $100,000 renovating the whole place. [/quote]

Tear downs in Arlington are at least $600K for small lots in questionable areas of Arlington.  Most are $700-900K [/quote]
