Let’s face it. When you visit a home  during a scheduled viewing or open house, you’re usually seeing it at its best. The rooms are tidy. The sinks  are clean. The closets  are organized and uncluttered. Even the lighting  is set to its brightest.

That’s just good old-fashioned marketing.

However, not every house you see will actually look this way. For any number of reasons, a house  on the market may be less than tidy, poorly decorated, and even in need of minor repairs . You may open the front door  in anticipation, only to be immediately turned off by stains on the carpets, faded paint on the walls, cluttered hallways, and more.

First impressions form quickly. It’s easy to make quick judgments and move on. But, you may be passing on what could be a dream home .

Don’t  make that mistake. Make your purchase decision based on a carefully considered second impression, not just your first.

When viewing a house, imagine how it will look with a fresh coat of paint, some redecorating, the minor repairs  completed, and your furniture  adorning the rooms. You might just find that a home  that doesn’t show well is really a diamond  in the rough.

(One caveat: Be careful of houses  that don’t look like they’ve been well maintained. There could be issues lurking that require expensive repairs or renovations. Always make a professional home  inspection  a condition of your offer.)

There are advantages to buying a home  that doesn’t show well. They attract less interest and, therefore, less competition from other potential buyers . The listing price may be lower  too.
