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.

As long as the house is structurally sound and with no serious issues, one would be really foolish to let a great home go by, when it can be fixed with a good cleaning and painting.

No matter how beautiful a home one buys, one still has to modify it, to their own taste.
