144 East 36th Street, #6C (Compass)
When sprucing up a home before selling, certain projects like painting the walls a neutral color or refinishing the floors are among the easiest and less expensive to complete. Some sellers are prepared to go much further and embark on a gut renovation of the kitchen and bath(s), if not the entire apartment; however, the end result may include appliances, features, and aesthetics that cater to some personal tastes more than others. For this reason, some sellers are content to tout a home's potential and leave the updates to the future buyers, though this might mean accepting a lower listing price.
