"People need an idea not a walk through. These are to entice someone to come!!"
I disagree with this statement. Especially when talking about a lake house where people might be traveling a good distance to see the house. Our realtor used professional photography + 3D walkthrough imaging when we sold our rural lake house. The eventual buyers lived over 2 hours away and said the walkthrough really helped them decide to come see the house. We had 53 pictures of our 2500 sf home. The realtor did include drone shots of the 1/2 acre property and the lake as well as pictures of the community ammenities(lake front beach, tennis courts, etc).
When we were looking for our new house, I appreciated the 3D walkthroughs as well... even though we lived within 10 minutes of most of the homes we toured.
It seems that you have a good number of photos covering the most important aspects of the house. If you do not include a walk-through and buyers are interested they can have their realtor do a Facetime walk-through with them. This is how we bought our vacation house, homes were selling immediately and we could not get there as quickly as needed, we made an offer after our Facebook tour.
@nicole___ this place is in a more rural area, in the deep woods on a lake - it's not really lit up so night photos aren't very popular here. Met with the realtor today and she had no problem with my choice of photos, or any of my other feedback, and astutely suggested that maybe I wanted to be involved in writing the verbiage for the listing. So I gave her my input, she will write it and I will review/edit. Coming soon is popular around here so it will be coming soon in a week and listing will go live a few days after that. I've gotten several professional opinions on the listing price, which seems high to me, but we will go with that to start as DH is in agreement with it. However we won't dawdle to reduce the price if needed depending on feedback. We have four months to get this done before we head south again. Step one - get it sold. Step two - get rid of everything that's still left here. Should be interesting.....
Happy Birthday!
Thank you all! I had a nice day! ❤️😎
I won't be celebrating until Friday but then I am a Birthday WEEK kind of gal!
I hope your day was filled with love and joy!
My best product so far is denial...
I think it's a negative. When we were house hunting, we saw a home which we liked but it had a walk in tub in the main bathroom. To us, that meant an immediate bathroom remodel. That alone did not make us pass on the house, but it was definitely a negative.
I'd say no opinion is the same as "if you don't have something nice to say..."
it's a negative. Almost anyone will want to remove it (same with jacuzzis now) and that is costly as well as implicating the entire bathroom. Lowball.
I would think in nearly all cases it would detract from the value of the property. Most people would likely see that and have to think about how they will replace it with a normal tub. The only exception I could think of would be a location/property that specifically appeals to people of an age or physical condition to need a walk-in tub, which is a small portion of the poplulation.
I paid $5.49 last week at Costco in Orange County.
Oh my, how interesting that is. Thanks food. Looks like I need to do a bit more checking. I'll add that I noticed the verbiage on the pump after filling up so there was nothing left to do but use it. The car didn't seem to run up to par on that tankful and got noticeably poorer mileage. I wonder if that was real or imagined? In any even, neither my budget nor my preferences lead me to need buying gas at Costco and so I won't anymore. It can be very inconvenient. At any other times than just before closing or just at opening, the long lines can be awful. Not worth the wait or the effort.

The fellow whose nonsense is best ignored, and I do 90+% of the time, can sometimes be laughable. He seems to have a hangup about San Francisco. Maybe he thinks everyone who lives in California lives in San Francisco. He should go there some time; he doesn't seem well travelled anyway. He'll have a really good time (a fun place to visit) and he'll find it's actually a pretty small city.
No doubt that gas price pic above is real in California, ave price here is about $3.45/gal right now. As for bias in the news media, yes fox, msnbc, cnn, etc show bias. I don't mind bias as long as it's truthful bias which bases it's bias on the facts. The night time line up on fox bases most of their bias on rumors, accusations, and innuendo more than the facts. One of these nights Laura Ingraham's necklace is going to burst into flames. The most straight news still comes on for 30 minutes in the evening on the 3 major networks, they're not perfect but they just report the news of the day as unbiased as they can.
