It is to your benefit if you see a fabulous house in a great neighborhood , golf course view, pool, etc., that shows poorly.
You should be able to snap it up for a good price due to lack of offers (many people can't see past cosmetics).
You can have professional cleaners in, get the house painted, and you end up sitting in a palace with a pool, hot tub and golf course view. And located in a wonderful neighborhood.
So true Bare. Several years ago there was a gorgeous home on the Hacienda golf course for sale, unfortunately the original owner had a penchant for purple and violet colors. The whole house, even the tiled floors, counter tops and bathroom fittings was done in purple. The price was incredible and we have been kicking ourselves ever since.

We saw another one on Glenview where everything (yes everything) was blue, even to a blue tiled fireplace. Someone got a great buy.
