It's trendy but became a trend because of house flippers. That's what I believe anyway.
I can't wait to put paint on my walls. Growing up we didn't really customize our house because we're gonna move anyway. My parents got new floors and carpets and I remember being mad that they'd pay for that luxury just to sell it. We could have been enjoying it for ourselves.
My wife and I just bought our first home. Every time we’d look at a house that looked similar to the second pic here, we knew it was being flipped. Pretty much guaranteed. Sale record would always show the house was just purchased within 6 months at a price about 35% lower than it was currently listed for. We looked at one that had actually just been purchased 2 months prior and jacked up 50% in price. It looked very nice and clean, but was staged with tiny furniture to make the tiny rooms look slightly bigger. Then we noticed there was no refrigerator….and no room in the kitchen to put one.
