obviously the OP is an extreme example, but if house hunting teaches you anything, its that most people are super weird and have horrendous taste.

I've been looking at condos in my area for the past few months, and I seriously can't believe some of the decisions people make. And we're not just talking about "ugh, that couch is ugly" (although there is a lot of that) we're talking about full renovations to kitchens and bedrooms that are just absolutely hideous.

Same here.  I just finished looking at house suggestions made by my realtor, and sometimes all I can think is, "What the hell?"

True, and no state income tax either; but.....scroll to the financial section and note the property taxes - $21k per year.  

And unlike a mortgage, you can't make that go away.  It's like the first $30+k of your income goes to taxes.  That's rough.

But that's on a house that is valued at over a million.  I don't pay anything even close to that.

IDK. The one at the end of the bed- put a little lingerie on her and put her face down, I don't think she'd look half bad.

Any commission that realtor makes is well deserved putting up with people like that. These pics were probably taken AFTER they decluttered. Oof.

No kidding, how do you show a house in that condition? Is a beautiful house, but the owners have completely screwed it over.

Worst staging company ever.

But seriously, how do you even move all that stuff?

7400 SQF for just 1.275 MM???       That's a lot of house for the money.  I would have figured the Houston suburbs (exurbs?) to be more expensive. 

In other news, I note that Diane Powers is not a big fan of staging. 

I want to think that she staged a nearly empty house for the seller.  "Hey, just wait to see it now!"
