How do I sell a home that needs significant repairs?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
You have several options. You can make repairs before listing to maximize the sale price. You can sell as-is, disclosing all known issues and pricing below market value. You can also sell to a cash buyer or iBuyer for a quick, no-repair sale, though typically at a discount. A real estate agent can help evaluate which approach yields the best net proceeds for your situation.
Why It Matters
Homes in poor condition can still sell successfully. Choosing the right strategy saves time, money, and stress.
