So the house next door to me is for sale:
www.rockethomes.com
Only $550,000.00

They've had a guy there working on it since the renters moved out about two months ago. They ripped up and replaced the flooring, put in all new carpet and appliances and painted.
He was a nice guy - even let me throw our old glass shower door in the big garbage container they had parked in the driveway.
What the pics don't show you:
The roof is COMPLETELY shot. It's the original roof from 2003. There are only three houses on this street that still have the original roofs and two of them are on either side of me.
The AC Compressors have the most ridiculous wiring ever. It's actually illegal because there's no drip loop. It's a shock and fire hazard. Big time.
The garage door is rather heavily damaged. It was jammed a few years ago and bent pretty badly, but rather than replace it they just had it hammered back into shape and called it good.
So you've got around $20,000.00 worth of things that really need to be fixed on a house they're asking $550,000.00 for.
You know what? It'll probably sell because people are stupid. After all, the house on the other side of me sold for almost that much and had similar issues. Still does.
