You're right, she's insane. There are few neighbourhoods that the prices are quite that high with rundown homes (unless you're heading to the lakeshore). ie. 800K+ homes. Buying at 600K and then dumping 200K into one of them she's likely over-improved (or replaced things that didn't need it).
Decades ago my parents sold their home. They guy who bought it got talked into changing the tile floor (ran through 2 main rooms and a large hallway).... two shades darker by a decorator.
