      Actually, I'd say it was more a a rich person who didn't dive the remotest damn about resale value and just wanted to live in his dream home. Which was considerably odder than most people's dream homes.
      Like, the real estate guy's advice about keeping your home impersonal to maximize market appeal is fine advice, if you think you're going to sell it one day. But if you plan on living in your house forever and/or just plain aren't going to have to worry about money? Make it yours, why not. Spend five million dollars to build a house that would be a tough sell at a tenth of that.

However, that's specifically what we were looking for because we're eccentric and we collect vintage decor and furniture. Our things would look ridiculous in a modern/renovated home.

      Yeah, and I kinda suspect the house was unsellable ONLY on the show, i.e. "unsell-ability" is a major plot element every property show. In addition the house was easily photographed, had memorable shape, a great view, and the decor allowed show's principals to drone on about supposedly awful 1980s style (nevermind that '80s furniture and decor is presently dethroning mid-century modern as most fashionable (and expensive) interior elements).
      In reality, put that house on the market at right time of year, at proper price, it would get snatched up within two weeks.

The wood was just u g l y: the color and grain looked bad. The carpet was just as tacky. I would never go fancy, not even a bit. True, some wouldn't like seeing blank white and gray walls but it'll save money too. I also don't understand why people buy the weirdest, craziest carpet designs.

    • @J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams.

      The convicted pimp had a three bedroom, one level home. Then he started a construction business. As he made money he had his crew add a room or wing here and there. The end result is several tons of concrete, ugly tile, and cheap finishes. He died. So the family tried to off load the monstrosity with a huge price based on the square footage. I'm sure, it'll sell for under a half million if it hasn't already. Then another idiot will deconstruct and reconstruct several areas/rooms to suit his or her wants.
      The best thing to do is buy the neighbors homes, build them up to a similar size, and sell them. This will raise the property values in this neighborhood. Soon most of the homes would be bought, second floors and winds added, and sold for over a million. The area would become know as millionaires row. As it is now, the neighboring homes are worth less because of this one lump of concrete.
