DISADVATAGES
1.Limited Buyer Pool • Some buyers prefer an unfurnished home to bring their own style or already have furniture; furnished homes might turn them off. 2.Valuation Challenges • Pricing a home with furniture can complicate the appraisal. Lenders don’t include furniture in mortgage valuations, which can create financing issues. 3.Negotiation Complexity • Buyers might want some pieces but not others, leading to back-and-forth over what’s included and at what value. These side negotiations can easily distract both parties from the primary goal—selling the property—. If not carefully managed, they can introduce confusion, delay the process, or even jeopardize the entire transaction. 4.Depersonalization Risk • If the furniture doesn’t match the taste of potential buyers, it can actually hurt the presentation rather than help. 5.Tax or Legal Considerations • In some jurisdictions, selling with furniture may have tax implications (e.g., different sales taxes or transfer fees).
