Well it does, all the things you mentioned have to do with taste and personal preference. Have several friends here who have bought pre-owned and replaced the washer and dryer, tore out the blinds and put there own in. Landscaping is all about personal taste. If you can accept what someone else likes, then go for it. If you want to put your own stamp on what you buy either get new or prepare to change what you bought. Bond impact is over rated unless, money is all that matters.
