We did buy it, but only after deciding it would be painted before we moved in. If they had put in some color - any color we would have lived with it. I want to replace the grey vinyl floors, but it is hard to justify that cost.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoPaint is cheap, relative to the probability and cost of finding a similar house you like, where you like, in the timeframe you want it. Flooring is relatively cheap too. I would never pass on a house for those reasons, at least not where I live since supply of alternative houses is so low.
