Have you ever walked into a property and the first thing you see is a green shag carpet?
Well, there are a lot of homes still out there like this, and the reason they can't sell is because people lack vision and can't see past that thick shag carpet.
I see this in a lot of probate homes and this is why investors who buy these homes get such great deals. They can see past that, but pretend they can't and ask for discounts. The family, for some unknown reason, would rather discount the price of that home $10,000 than spend $2,500 for a new carpet.
Whether you're a first time home buyer or a seasoned investor, learning to look past the shag can save you thousands!

Gross! It's hard to believe that people once liked that sort of thing. And it's sad that people want to waste $7500+ just because they don't want to take the time to replace the carpet.
Good luck,
