1. HIGH PREP & REPAIR COSTS
CONCERN: Fixing up the house eats time and money. 46% of sellers worry most about this.
REMEDY: Hire a pro inspector early; budget 1-2% of home value for targeted fixes to boost appeal.

CONCERN: Buyers bail over repair demands in this picky market (70% of cancellations).
