It is very probably worth it to buy a house that is brick and not formstone bc of the real estate value. Much better for resale.

This actually doesn’t have a huge impact on resale values. When I tell buyers that you can paint or remove the formstone, it no longer becomes an objection.

Yeah. People love having to spend more money and more time after they go through the trouble of buying a home. Have fun with your formstone and your idiot realtor! 🤡🥴🤡

Your post wasn’t about the expenses involved in removing formstone, it was about the marketability of a home. If a home checks every box for a buyer but has a feature that can easily be changed, a buyer would be making a mistake not purchasing it.

But hey what do I know, I’m just an idiot realtor.

I don’t know if you knew this, but some buyers like to change things about a house after they buy it. If you haven’t heard of this little thing called “home improvement,” I think you should check it out!

If formstone bothers you, just wait until you hear about things like “carpet,” and “laminate,” and please don’t let me scare you with a “wood paneling”
