Practical path
Price the repairs, the time, and the carrying costs. Many owners choose an as-is cash sale; others complete only the repairs that clearly improve net proceeds.
Decision checklist
- Get rough scopes for critical systems (roof, foundation, HVAC, electrical, plumbing)
- Estimate months of taxes, insurance, and utilities during a project
- Compare as-is cash net with repaired listing net after commission and concessions
- Confirm whether financed buyers could even purchase in current condition
