What's bad about this?

Take 2 days to lay a carpet and paint the place and it'll be completely fine. Easy and simple.

Sure it’s easy. That’s why the seller should have done it. If you sell a house you should stage it properly so you get the most money out of it. Many people have zero imagination and can’t see past the current interior design. The seller is an idiot for putting it on sale like this. They don’t even have to place carpet just coat the floor with white paint and it suddenly looks modern.

💯 Pictures like this turn potential buyers away.

Especially on a home that's listing above half a million. That's right, all this can be yours for over 500k.

That looks like a concrete floor. You can't put flooring on it without some kind of vapor barrier / moisture release solution. It'll just be mold heaven.

Speaking of mold and moisture, this is just a photo, but I can smell the musky smell of damp stale air!

I could install that carpet for you in a short afternoon but I do it professionally.
