Yes, the price would be lower, but you are also competing with a bunch or house-flippers who see value in the place totally different than you do; they see how much would a new/fully reno'd home in that lot would sell rather than its current value.
So, it might be easier for you, as a ready-to-move-in buyer, to find houses that have some compromises (that you could work on), but it doesn't make sense get rid of yet (the entire house or kitchen/bath/floor).

No question that's a huge factor these days, the home looks shit but people see the potential so they don't mind spending that extra money when the house isn't work it yet. Fricken crazy stuff and frustrating as well.

Some of those Strata fee's are beyond crazy which is why I'm leaning closer to Pitt and the West side of Ridge since I can get a better bang for my buck.
