Throw it out there...any info appreciated!
There was a house in our neighborhood that was for sale for quite a long time and there were 2 main reasons. The ceilings and walls were painted in colors that would not appeal to many and the price was too high and the owner would not budge on it. They repainted it and lowered the price and it finally sold. Yes dated interiors are a big turnoff to many people who either cannot update themselves or cannot afford to have someone do it. Lastly, yes, there are often bidding wars.
