I know what you're saying, Bob. I have seen some horrendous "new" stuff done here for freshening up the house to sale. Like "new paint" in the most awful colors, leaving me saying, great, now I have to do an interior paint job or I won't be able to stand living here.
However, I have upgraded several houses here for sale, and I've always gotten positive feedback.
As a buyer, I cannot stand white appliances, or 4" tile countertops, so if anyone did that, that money would certainly be a waste. I think if people use high end finishes and have good taste, it wouldn't be a problem here. But I can't say for sure. I have looked at hundreds of homes for sale here, maybe thousands, and most of the ones in my price range have been pretty awful. It seems to me the moderate price range island buyer would be grateful if it's updated in good taste. As for those who need to choose everything, they should just build custom homes.
