Just realized I wasted 2 years chasing 'perfect' listings when the ugly ones sell faster
I spent 14 months in Houston only touring homes that looked great in photos, then wondering why I kept losing bidding wars to cash buyers. Finally got desperate and looked at a house with awful 1980s carpet and a kitchen straight out of a horror movie. Nobody else even showed up to the open house, so I got it for $12k under asking. Popped in new flooring and painted the cabinets for under $4k total, and it appraised for way more than I paid. Now I always check the worst photos first because that's where the actual value hides. Has anyone else had better luck with the 'ugly duckling' listings over the polished ones?

Same thing with used trucks. Dents mean nobody else bids.
