There is a very good reason that so many homes in TV have non-carpeted floors. Older folks sometimes suffer from urinary incontinence and there is nothing like a nice fluffy carpet for absorbing and holding odors. We've gone to more than one estate sale where the urine smell in the common rooms was pretty noticeable.
Were I a new buyer here, I'd be VERY leery about buying a resale that has carpeting. Even if it looks and smells OK all that may mean is that the carpets had been cleaned before it was put on the market. A month or two later could reveal some very unpleasant surprises to the new owner.
