So, you’ve found the home of your dreams! But here’s the twist – what stays and what goes? Let’s decode the mysteries of fixtures and personal property when you make that sweet deal.

Fixtures vs. Personal Property: It’s the age-old question. Fixtures, like built-in cabinets and ceiling fans, stay put. Personal property, such as curtains and outdoor furniture, usually goes with the seller. But there’s a lot in between!

What Stays? What Goes?

Fixtures: Think screwdriver test! If it’s attached and removal would cause damage, it stays. Doorknobs, light fixtures, built-in bookshelves – they’re yours!
Appliances: Market rules vary. Some places include appliances, others don’t. Negotiate wisely.
Furniture: Love that couch? Negotiate it into your offer. It’s personal property, but everything’s negotiable.
Outdoor Gray Areas: Grills, fire pits, hot tubs – tricky, right? It depends on the attachment. Negotiate and clarify!
Window Treatments: Usually stay, but there are nuances. Blinds are fixtures, but curtains on a rod might be personal property.
Televisions: Don’t assume! Sometimes sellers take the TV but leave the mounting brackets. Negotiate or BYO TV.
