A buyer can choose from many on the market or wait until one they desire comes available.
A seller needs to correct anything ODD they did to their home or it will not sell. They also need to carefully look at the pictures a realtor posts of their home. I see some and I shake my head. Large furniture or lots of furniture that makes the home look small, garages packed with stuff, pictures of roofs when they are wet making it appear there is damage, etc..

I used to think my parents were pulling my leg when they said people don’t like corner lots, but here’s two posts in a row underscoring that. Personally, I love seeing corner lots. With a little luck, that’s what we will end up with (if we find one with the right house on it).
Your second paragraph is spot on. How many times I see bad pictures is remarkable. I see houses that are priced at a premium and it looks like a 7 year old took the pictures with an iPhone 4. And yes, often times the rooms are very cluttered which doesn’t do the seller any favors. I will also add as free advice to listing agents: if you highlight something in the description, include a picture of it in the pics. Drives me crazy and it should be real estate 101.
