Selling your house as-is may sound like a good idea – until you look at what’s happening in the market.

On the surface, it feels easy. No repairs. No projects. No extra effort. But here’s the reality.
Right now, most sellers are making at least some repairs before they list.

Why? Because inventory is up, buyers have choices again, and condition matters.

Homes that feel move-in ready get more attention and stronger offers.
Homes that don’t? They sit longer and sell for less.

Now, that doesn’t mean selling as-is is wrong. It just means it comes with trade-offs.

Before you choose the easy route, let’s look at all your options. I’ll show you what buyers are responding to right now in our market – and help you decide what makes the most sense for your situation.
