So I went to look at the house today, and they did indeed “Virtually stage” the house. There was no furniture in the house at all. BUT when you look at the pictures online, the bedrooms look really large. The actual bedrooms are small, and the photos were fudged. For example, in photo #4, the 6 drawer dresser to the left of the door gives you the impression that the area is 60" wide, but in fact, it is about 36" (ie, that dresser would never fit, and certainly isn’t the same width as the door). You can kinda tell where things were stretched as the wood panelling should all be the same thickness at an angle of 45 degrees. Same issue on the right with photo #6.
Oh wow, it is the future. When are we going to open house that you are required to wear a VR headset to tour the property? I think some of the spec home developer are already using that to pre-sell the houses.
Sounds like the back porch has significant termite damage but otherwise, I’d say the property was in good shape. The porch felt secure–I wouldn’t have known there was termite damage. There was a place in the living room that might require some foundation adjustment (which was easily accessible–5 foot crawlspace), but overall everything else seemed level. There’s some damage on one of the outside walls on the right where someone cut a hole, but inside the garage there were very few cracks in the cement and no water damage despite the downhill slope of the driveway.
Definitely the house needs paint and new carpet. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone flips it. I am surprised at the school district. John Gill? Seems far from there. Maybe that’s the reason for the low price.
