My God! Why would they even take pictures with all that extra stuff? The inside looks terrible, although I can see it is a beautiful house. The seller needs to rent a storage room for about half their crap.
What about the clutter makes you uneasy? The fact that you're going to have to remove it or that something's hidden underneath it or what?
You know what's worse than clutter? I walked into a duplex about a month ago and there were 17 homeless folks living inside. Urinating in the corners, using the carpet as an ash tray, piled up trash and human waste everywhere. A little clutter is an easy clean up compared to some of the stuff we run into.
OMG! What were they thinking?
If I was the Seller's real estate agent, I would highly advise them to hire a staging professional and the need to tone down the visuals and REMOVE the crap.
Some buyers are able to see pass the furniture and decor but most buyers are not able to get pass this eyesore. Just looking at these pics are a major turnoff to consider setting one foot into this house.
Holy moly.
When we were looking at lake houses last summer there was one that was so full of the elderly owners “collections”, we just couldn’t get a good feel for what the house looked or felt like under all of it. She was clearly quite proud and each room had a theme but it made me want to bolt.
Not a good thing for a potential buyer to want to do.
It sat on the market for year and they finally just took it off the market.
The other weird thing was that it was built out of slump block which is weird for a house on a northern Idaho lake. Very out of place.

The house is way too cluttered, but is orderly. I would put all the small stuff up to make it look more "open" to potential buyers, picture frames and large knick nacks, and even some of the smaller furniture.
I can't stand that decor at all - but if I were to buy the house, I could paint over all that, especially in the kitchen and bathroom wall. The only thing I like is the color schemes, but I hate all that busy-ness with the kitchen cabinets, it looks very kitsch + more.

Hmmmm, burial plots, that's interesting. I've done lots of house-hunting over the years, but never came across a historical family burial plot as part of the property. Assuming the house is in a quiet, desirable area, I don't know if the burial plots would bother me. I'd have to think about that one after I would see if the house itself was to my liking.
