Is this the Newest trend in bathrooms?

Have you ever heard you shouldn't poop where you eat? It is important for a bathroom to be convenient, however this is a little crazy. Check out this Manchester NH area home. It was a multi family building, all apartments were occupied. I just had to take and share this photo or no one may have believed me.

This building was listed for sale . It had not sold, expired and the owner asked me to walk through to tell them what I thought.

It did not take long to figure out why the building did not sell.

THE BEST WAY to sell a home is to have it ready, clean, clutter free and smelling good for potential buyers, I like to walk through a home when i list it so the seller can have the best advice to ready that home for showings,

THE BOTTOM LINE is that the BEST way to go about any home sale or purchase is to know that the consumer should not choose just any agent. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. By using a philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process, I can help you find your dream home or sell your property.

OK Scott Godzyk You got the attention you wanted, but thankfully that toilet is NOT PLUMBED IN.

AS FOR SELLING MULTI-FAMILY PROPERTIES, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE NUMBERS

Forget the comments of these house sellers. They don't have a clue what they are talking about. Just make sure the numbers are right. It will sell, but you need to market it to investors, not home buyers.

good luck.

Good eye Bill Roberts. Attention is priceless. With 3 family homes there are 2 types of buyers, most common in our area is the owner occupant, who will be living in 1 unit and renting the other 2. They will often pay more for the home but their likes and dislikes is by seeing, emotion and condition. Investors looking for rental income prefer 4 or mor unit most often. Those that buy 3 family homes are looking at income but also looking at selling price. They want to pay less. They will target those homes in need of work looking for a larger discount. So an owner occupied seller looking to get top dollar should target other owner occupied buyers. Investors will be willing to buy, but for less. The tenant as you can see did not clean up at all for the showing or after them selves in general. It was smelly and a toilet removed and placed in the combo kitchen, dining and living rooms does nothing to help a sale. If it was new or clean, could be a talking piece, but this was just gross.

It was Kathleen Daniels , not much scares or shocks me in this business, but smells and uncleanliness does bother me.

I was shocked recently when I viewed the floor plan before writing the property description for a multi-million dollar, 9,000 s.f. home. It has a bathroom opening off the kitchen. That used to be common here in older, 2 bedroom, 1 bath homes, but in my mind it's completely undesirable.

You know Marte Cliff , it is very common here to have a bath off the kitchen on older homes. I am kind of use to it.

Yes Scott, its common here too. But you seldom see it in a new home - or a newly renovated home like the one I wrote about.

I'm all for flexible usage rooms but this is taking the concept a bit too far.

I am struggling to even make a cogent comment here. Very unappealing on so many levels, even without the toilet.

Good morning, Scott... I've heard of bathtubs in kitchens, but never toilets. It gives the concept of flex space a whole new meaning! Thanks for the picture proof that it exists!

Wow, this had already been listed long enough for it to become expired? Either the previous listing agent did a poor job of explaining what needed to be taken care of, or the seller was obstinant. Good luck!

My only question is, are they marketing it as a full or partial bath? LOL
