DH and I are shocked! haha We have always taken the fridge (and the washer/dryer) with us when either of us has moved. </p> <p>@Myicitygirl: we always bought the house when we moved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move/page/2#post-1472293 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:07:23 +0000 Mirage 1472293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in Ontario. And usually what happens is that appliances aren't included, but as usually used as negotiations at the end. It sadly depends on what the seller wants. I've purchased homes were they have left the appliances and I really wanted them to take them because they were garbage, but they didn't want to leave them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move/page/2#post-1472192 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 09:49:03 +0000 LuLu Mom 1472192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to buy a fridge for the kitchen beause htey took it (but they left the garage one.) we will leave it because it's white and I want stainless steel next time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move/page/2#post-1472131 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 09:37:21 +0000 AmandaB8 1472131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's 50/50 in Kansas City. Our previous owners took the fridge, washer, and dryer. But that's okay - I got brand new ones! Now to save up to replace the stove and dishwasher.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1472130 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 09:37:17 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1472130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the seller and buyer. When my family moved to Florida the home we purchased was less than three years old. The seller kept their fridge, washer and dryer. We left all the appliances in the DC house we moved from. My husband left all the appliances in the house he sold in VA. The house we bought together in FL had all the appliances. When we leave the appliances will stay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1472106 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 09:30:20 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1472106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where I am, its considered really strange if you take the fridge/appliances with you. You'd probably have to lower the asking price of the house if you weren't leaving them. HOWEVER, if I ever got my dream oven, or a really nice fridge, I'd probably try to take them with me. </p> <p>Our house came with a massive French-door fridge, and I'm so glad that they left it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1472095 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 09:27:34 +0000 PurplePumps 1472095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on the east coast and vote stays. Unless the listing specifies appliances not included or specifically refrigerator or washer/dryer not included, the default is that it stays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471839 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 05:03:13 +0000 78h2o 1471839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted that it goes with you, since it depends on the contract. However, when we were looking to buy/sell here in MD, we saw "all kitchen appliances included" in a lot of listings. We included ours with the house we sold, as two were included with the house we bought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471836 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 04:44:09 +0000 lamariniere 1471836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always rented and the fridge stays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471826 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 03:37:53 +0000 Myicitygirl 1471826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did your family rent or buy 8 times? </p> <p>In NYC rentals, the landlord is required to provide a fridge. Under CA law, the fridge is considered an "amenity" and we had a hard time finding a house for rent that came with a fridge. </p> <p>In my and my family's experience with NYC sales, the fridge and washer/dryer stays with the house. We just bought in CA and the owner had planned to take both but we got the new fridge in a counteroffer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471518 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:45:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1471518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends! If I paid handsomely for nice stainless steel appliances - yeah I've probably take them with me. If it was the fridge that came with the house and was old and such, then no, I wouldn't take it. </p> <p>I'm in a rental so this has never been an issue but when we were house hunting we looked at several houses that had no appliances whatsoever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471478 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:20:01 +0000 NavyRN2012 1471478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fridge stays! I'm from the South. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471455 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:06:36 +0000 rawrasaur 1471455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me it is a toss up and completely up to the seller. We are budgeting to have to buy a fridge when we buy a house because we know it might not have one. When my parents move they take the fridge with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471453 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:05:33 +0000 MsLipGloss 1471453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471451 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:04:02 +0000 Smurfette 1471451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always stays!

It makes it easier for both parties. Nicer appliances will be a bigger draw for some people who want a move in ready house. I live on the east coast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471420 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:50:39 +0000 dolphin 1471420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought fridge stays in the house. I live in Chicago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471231 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:45:21 +0000 lawbee11 1471231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry but I am siding with your sis--fridge stays with the house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471139 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:15:33 +0000 Dandelion 1471139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends if you love it. We're buying a place, and the MLS listing said the range stays, but didn't mention the fridge. We're curious to find out if they're leaving it.</p> <p>If I buy a super awesome fridge that I love and put it in a house I'll sell, if I still love the fridge, it's going with me. Same with my stove and all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471126 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:09:32 +0000 Sapphiresun 1471126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends. You need to stipulate in your contract what fittings and fixtures and appliances will and will not be included with the house in your negotiations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471108 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:04:26 +0000 swedishfish 1471108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal practice on Long Island seems to be that the fridge stays with the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1471020 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:30:12 +0000 lioneyes 1471020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>stays with the house, whether you own or reant (east coast). i think it depends where you're from, i know in LA, you take the fridge with you when you move. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1470913 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 17:52:23 +0000 PurplePeony 1470913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everywhere I've lived (upstate NY, Philly, and Seattle), normal practice is that it stays with the house...but I'm sure there are plenty of exceptions! Personally, I wouldn't want to lug a fridge from place to place so I'd leave it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1470878 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 17:40:35 +0000 littlek 1470878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how the contract is written. You can say appliances will convey or not convey. When you make an offer you can include appliances in the offer if it says they do not convey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1470876 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 17:40:08 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 1470876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fridge goes with you...that's always been my experience! I'm in AZ... The only appliances that stay are the range (or stove top + oven) and dishwasher. Also, the microwave if its built in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1470863 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 17:36:31 +0000 Weagle 1470863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the deal. In my experience, the "norm" for appliances is regional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1470844 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 17:31:47 +0000 heffalump 1470844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our house came with a fridge. But we just bought a new one in our old house which we now rent out so we switched them out so the older one is in the rental. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1470834 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 17:29:59 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1470834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends, but our house (CA) came with the (older) kitchen appliances. We had to buy our own washer and dryer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-the-fridge-stay-with-the-house-when-you-move#post-1470833 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 17:29:42 +0000 Torchwood 1470833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in the South. Most houses we looked at planned to leave the fridge. The one we bought she actually had it down to take it, but we requested it as part of our offer and she left it. I would not plan to take it with us. Either we'll replace it along with the stove and dishwasher because it doesn't match the appliances we'd like to have, in which case we'd leave it because it matches, or we'll leave it because it isn't our style. We only requested she leave it to save us the trouble and cost of finding a new one while dealing with moving and stuff as well. </p>
