Well, when I bought my first house, there were no granite counters, stainless, and most hardwood was covered! Even my second house in Tempe, in a very nice neighborhood, had dark wood cabinets, sheet vinyl, and all wall to wall carpets. The home I grew up in, had beautiful hardwood underneath all of the carpets.
My house has all of the bells and whistles. It's not that. It's more like if there is one thing people don't like, they can't see past that, no matter how small. People can't imagine how they might change things. As I carried on about, the house is staged, in that, it's all my own furniture, but a lot less of it than was there. It's pretty easy now to see the bones of the house.
Our agent said it's super slow everywhere, even at good price points. Our house is at the lower end of the mid price range in my town. The average price here is about 1.2 million and we're nicely below that! The fact that people come and look, who are downsizing is crazy. It's all on line, so when they say it's too big, or too many stairs, they could have seen that and not wasted anyone's time.
