How To Sell Your House When You Can’t Afford Repairs and Updates

When you sell your house (or anything really), you aim to sell it for the highest dollar. After all, that’s the main point of selling–to earn a profit. Now in real estate, selling your property for the most money may not be easy, especially if it is in a bad location, an old dilapidated house, or if you’re a little behind on the maintenance. This is why almost every real estate company out there has its own set of tips on how to prepare your property before putting it on the market. These tips usually include several pieces of advice from the basic cleaning and decluttering to the more complicated tasks like boosting your curb appeal, repairing what’s broken, or taking on some home improvement projects such as new wall paint or upgraded kitchen appliances. Most of these require a separate budget.

But what happens if you don’t have the financial means to take on these projects? What can you do if you can’t afford to have your house repaired or updated?

The easiest way to make your house look better is to keep it tidy and clutter-free. Aside from being easy, cleaning does not need hundreds of dollars and can be done fast with the help of some friends and family members. However, if the issue is beyond cleanliness and involves structural damages that need to be repaired, or old and malfunctioning appliances, or essential items in the home that are starting to fall apart, then merely cleaning and removing the clutter won’t do the trick.

If you are ever in a situation where you have to sell your house but cannot, for whatever reason, set aside a specific amount of money for repairs or home improvements projects, you do not need to worry. You can definitely skip all that including the staging phase and sell your house as-is instead. 

 

What does selling your house as-is mean?

According to realtor.com, to sell a house as-is means “the homeowner is selling the home in its current condition, and will make no repairs or improvements before the sale or negotiate with the buyer for any credits to fund these fix-its.”

Selling your house as-is gives you hope that no matter the condition of your house, you can still sell it. You do not have to spend time and money to make it look good in order to attract prospective buyers.
