I wish someone would just buy it - it would help her lots.

My parents just built a custom house and from my experience, if your mom is anything like them, if they were to sell it they would be asking way more what what someone would pay. Puter and fancy expensive fixtures look nice, but add very little to the value of the home. The problem is you already paid for them so you know what they cost, a buyer doesnt care about that so much.
Also, for my building in Crescent Heights. Of the 3 units sold. The lowest for a comprable unit to mine sold for 30k more than what I paid for it in March of 2006. That makes me sleep a bit better at night.
