I think this is what happens with flips. They go for what will look good to sell - curb appeal, cosmetic touches, and not what my be more structurally important.
My house is my taste (well my taste years ago when I did much of the changing), but we have not scrimped over the years on the stuff that I think matters. We are looking to sell soon. The first realtor who looked at it was commenting on the wallpaper and carpeting and lack of grey. He does a lot of flips in my town. The second one instead was looking at the amount of space, the recently updated HVAC units, the new roof etc. Guess who I want to work with when I decide to sell?
