>>513580175 (OP)From a soulful element of the property you bought, to the soulless husk of a retirement you're buying.
That's the boomer-millennial way.
I've seen it with both of them. "Modernism" is what they call it, I call it Spartan minimalism, but then they don't go for the Spartan thing which is not to have the remodeling done at all.
Fundamentally they do it for one simple reason.
They buy the property at a value, they see other properties sell for higher values while having more modern interior, and the real estate Jew tells them they should remodel everything to raise the value.
That it objectively makes the property ugly and subjectively lowers its value to me doesn't matter to them, they're buying their retirement policy, not a home.
