elling Your Home: To Repair or Sell As Is?

    When deciding whether to repair your home before listing it for sale, consider the potential return on investment. According to Stephanie Fields of Fields Realty, making repairs can increase the value of your property and attract more buyers.

    Fields notes that some repairs may not be worth the cost, especially if they're minor or cosmetic. In these cases, selling your home as is might be a better option. However, major issues like structural damage or outdated electrical systems should be addressed before listing to avoid scaring off potential buyers.

    Ultimately, it's essential to weigh the costs of repairs against the potential benefits and make an informed decision based on your local market conditions.
