Chattels and Fixtures?
Loosely defined, a chattel is something that is not attached to the home, while a fixture is not surprising, fixed to the home. For example light fixtures and built in shelving are fixtures, while furniture and pictures are chattels and usually move with the seller. Oddly, the house key is considered a fixture! When preparing a listing or an offer, it is important to clearly list any fixture excluded (commonly ornate chandeliers) and list all chattels included, such as stove and refrigerator as well as window blinds.
