House Selling--who can figure it out?

Thinking we were going to live in this house until we died, a couple of years ago, we remodeled the kitchen. We got rid of the pink formica countertops and backsplash (yes really!) and put in hard surface counter tops with a neutral glass tile backsplash. The burgundy kitchen carpet (gag yes really) and pale green carpet in the living area that adjoined the kitchen were replaced with oak hardwood. All of our friends who have seen the remodel have really liked it.

Then we put the house on the market. WELL--the first couple said they hated wood floors and only like carpet. THEN they said they preferred formica counter tops because they are cheap and you can change the color scheme whenever you want to ( I DOUBT they had ever changed out counter tops and back splashes or they would never go through that ordeal again).

They felt the eating area was too isolated--which one? this one IN the kitchen or the breakfast bar that is BETWEEN the kitchen and family room?

AND they wanted formals--just NOT like the formals we have.

Then the next couple said the yard was too big (we have a small yard) and another said the yard was too small.

Our house has about the most open floorplan you can imagine and a couple said it wasn't open enough--Jim said they must have wanted a one room house--like a gym.

Then they said one of the two master bedrooms was "ill placed", it is a split floor plan lady, USE THE OTHER ONE!!

Oh well--the whole thing is a complete puzzle--no more trying to analyze it!! It only takes ONE buyer, THANKFULLY!!
