Repair and list
Get written estimates. Add permits, contractor lead times, utilities, insurance, loan payments, and money for surprises.
House needs repairs
Sell as-is or repair first? Compare the full cost.
A repair can raise the selling price and still reduce the final result after labor and materials are counted. Delays, financing, utilities, taxes and a reserve for surprises matter too. An as-is sale has a different tradeoff: less work, usually for a lower price.
Look past the asking price
The higher price is not always the better deal.
Compare what is left after the work and waiting, not just what a repaired house could sell for.
List in current condition
A retail buyer can still buy the house, but the condition can limit financing or lead to repair requests, appraisal trouble, and a lower price later.
Sell directly as-is
A direct buyer takes on the work and the uncertainty. That makes the sale simpler, but the repair and resale risk shows up in the offer.
