I wish I could do original things with my gaff but you gotta be conservative because housing is a commodity.

If you're gonna go for the unusual, you have to fully commit to it. Don't stop halfway, because it's gonna be cringe. But if you go all the way, they will call it art, and they'll pay you multiple times over what you paid for it.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago

With art, there is an inverse relationship between the number of people who will buy it and how much they'll pay for it. Art everyone wants is cheap, niche art is expensive.

If you go full send, you can charge more if the stars align and you can find a buyer.

Well, to bring it back to the OP, the problem here is they clearly didn't go full send. It's definitely tacky, but not tacky enough. How about some gold fixtures and doorknobs? What's up with that hideous tiling behind the stove? Why is there a regular old ceiling light and not a friggin' Svarovski chandelier? Spend another 15 grand on those and you might find someone who's willing (and high enough) to pay you 20% over ask.

It's gonna be drug money, but they'll pay.

What I'm saying is that it's a tradeoff. The fuller the send, the harder it is to find a buyer, but the more they'll pay.

Conversely, the emptier(???) the send, the more buyers will be interested, but the less you can charge.

I think going tackier would let them charge more if they found a buyer, but it would make it even less likely to find a buyer. This is already a full enough send the they're struggling to find anyone interested, send it any harder and there would be no chance.

I initially saw this post while wearing blue blocking glasses and it looked completely normal

As a survival strategy I therefore propose

I like it.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

Cool AF for a place to visit.

Would not want to live there permanently. Is OP a wizard or something? Lol

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

Honestly, the interior decor of a house probably seldom matters.

It always depends on geography.

If you have a outrageously painted kitchen inside a house in a prime area, no one is going to care about the colors of the cupboards.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 6 points 8 months ago

Well, if you have a house to sell in a prime area, there's no need to put in an outrageous kitchen like that in order to attract buyers. The only reason you'd need to do that is if your house ISN'T.
