We passed on buying several houses that would have been perfect for our (somewhat unconventional) needs, but would have been very hard to sell. Instead, we bought a house that isn't perfect for our needs but will be easy to sell, because it has multiple in-demand features that don't really matter much to us, but matter to a large swath of buyers. Perfect example is a childless couple who can buy a house in either a good or bad school district, with commensurate taxes and property values. They might think they're getting a steal by going with the house in the bad district... until it's their turn to sell the house.
