My absolute dealbreaker is a smoker house, and I know I'm not alone. My grandma had smoked in her house for 20+ years. Before we could sell it, we had to re-paint and re-carpet the ENTIRE house so that it didn't reek of cigarettes. There are a few houses my husband and I have looked at in the area that on paper were perfect, but we took one step into them and I got a horrible headache. By the time we left, our clothes stank.

Oooh, this reminds me -- Cat houses! (No, not cathouses, simply houses with stinky cats.)

We looked at one house. The lady had two cats. It stunk like nothing else. We finished looking at it since it was a very common floorplan and we wanted to just see what it looked like. But, I knew in 15 seconds of being in the house that we wouldn't touch it.

Some people can keep their houses smelling fine. This woman had 2 tomcats that marked their scent thoughout the house. No amount of paint, etc. was gonna get rid of that.
