Frequently Asked
Will I get less money selling my home as-is?
Quick Answer
As-is homes are typically priced below comparable renovated homes in the same area, reflecting the buyer's expected repair costs. Whether this results in a lower net outcome depends on the specific property — sometimes a small number of strategic, lower-cost repairs can shift a home into the traditional buyer pool and produce a higher net price even after the repair cost, while other properties genuinely perform better sold as-is to an investor buyer.
