Dated does not always mean expensive. In Avon-area homes, the difference between a negotiation opportunity and a money pit usually shows up here:
• A workable layout and solid cabinets usually mean cosmetic updates, not a full remodel.
• Stains, musty smells, soft floors or cracked tile can point to bigger repair costs.
• Price the roof, windows, heating and cooling, and water heater before you price paint colors.
• If one room was updated but the rest was skipped, ask what was postponed.
If you want help sizing up a dated home, I'm happy to help.
