As-Is vs. Traditional Sales: What Every Seller Needs to Know

As-Is vs. Traditional Sales: What Every Seller Needs to Know

September 05, 20241 min read

Home Sellers! Let’s break down what selling your home “as is” really means compared to selling it in “good” condition. An “as is” sale signifies that you’re not making any repairs—so if you’re finished with fixing leaks, patching up problems, or dealing with any issues in your home, this is the route you’re taking.

However, be aware that if your home is in poor condition, buyers might offer you less. They’ll factor in the cost of repairs and the condition of the property into their offers. On the other hand, if your home is in average or above-average shape, buyers may still be willing to accept an “as is” deal, but they’ll likely request an inspection with the right to back out if they find issues that are too concerning.

For a traditional sale, where you’re open to making repairs, you might be able to list your home at a higher price. Buyers will see the value in a well-maintained property and may offer more, especially if they’re not worried about significant repairs.

If you have questions about which approach is best for you or need guidance on selling your home, feel free to drop them below or reach out directly. I’m here to help with all your real estate needs!
