What Does and Doesn’t Come With a Home?

Only some fixtures actually come with the house you’re buying.

When you tour a house for sale, it could be staged. It’ll look great with all the appliances, furniture, and window treatments, but what actually comes with the house once you buy it?

Only attached fixtures come with the house. This means that ceiling fans, security systems, built-in appliances, window screens, storm doors, blinds, and similar items will remain as part of the home. Removable items like curtains and furniture won’t be included. Outdoor fixed items like the mailbox, built-in fire pit, plants, shrubbery, and in-ground pool would all stay, but portable things like a hot tub or unattached grill would not come with the house.

However, almost everything is up for negotiation. If there’s something in the house that you want,  we could talk to the other agent once we’re under contract to see if the seller will let that item go for free or for a small fee. Just keep in mind that sometimes sellers will call out items that they want to keep.
