Which Fixtures are Included When I Purchase A Home?

As we tour prospective homes with clients, we are often asked what fixtures and appliances are included with the sale of the home. The general rule of thumb is that if something is installed or attached (“nailed, screwed, or glued”) to the home, it is included.

This typically includes items such as chandeliers, mirrors, oven/stove, alarm systems, sheds, outdoor playsets, built-in microwaves, ceiling fans and above ground pools. Items that are usually not included are washers, dryers and refrigerators. As for windows, rods and curtains typically stay whereas drapes are generally not included.

However, it’s popular for sellers to include washers, dryers and refrigerators with an acceptable offer because they are often difficult to move and may provide an incentive to buyers. It is also not uncommon for the seller to specifically exclude chandeliers or other items that they love.
