The buyer negotiated to have the seller finish the home as part of the sales agreement, which is probably a wise move. I'll have to see if it actually was finished, as the seller was originally the one building the house but couldn't finish for some (probably financial) reason. The crazy thing is the sellers occupation is general contractor, so you'd think he'd know exactly what it takes to finish a house on budget and in time (and not be a sore thumb in the surrounding neighborhood).
Had to make the wife happy, so we moved into a house that needed nothing. It's still my preference to find value in something others don't desire and then make it into something desirable. Maybe next house.
