If you’re looking for a good buy in an older home, and see one in which the housekeeping leaves something to be desired, don’t be turned off immediately. Look beyond the mess. Don’t let your first impression deter you from the IMPORTANT features of a house.
For example, the structure of the house and the general layout may be in excellent condition, easily convertible to your own ideas of decorating and family living. The kitchen may be cluttered and unkempt, but large and well appointed with cabinets, pantry, and other features. A worn and dirty carpet in the living room may be covering a beautiful hardwood floor that you can make sparkle again. Also carpet can be cleaned or replaced.
It takes a good visual imagination to see how a house can be transformed to meet your own ideas of decorating. If the house is sound and has the features you want, you may find that the poor housekeeping will work to your price advantage.
