Stop expecting perfection in the price range you are searching
Prices are up, but that doesn’t mean properties are going to be turnkey. If they were, they would likely be priced out of the range where you are looking.
Accept the state of what is available, and go with the flow. Inventory is low, choices are slim, and a turnkey property is going to have even more intense competition and go that much over its asking price.
Not the right color cabinets? Paint them. Want different flooring? Change it after your purchase.
Don’t rule a property out because of cosmetic items that can be easily changed.
