Fixtures, any
kind of personal
property that is
permanently
attached to a
house (such as
drapery rods,
built-in
bookcases,
tacked-down
carpeting or a
furnace),
automatically
stay with the
house unless
specified
otherwise in the
sales contract.
But you can
consider
anything that is
not nailed down
negotiable. This
most often
involves
appliances that
are not built in
(washer, dryer,
refrigerator,
for example),
although some
sellers will be
interested in
negotiating for
other items,
such as a piano.
