Thinking About Selling Your Home “As-Is”? Here’s What You Should Know Before You List

We’re hearing this question more and more as we head into 2026: Should I sell my home as-is and skip the repairs?

It depends — but it matters more now than it did in recent years.

As inventory grows, buyers have more options. And when buyers have choices, condition matters. While selling as-is can make sense in certain situations, it often narrows your buyer pool and impacts pricing. That’s why nearly two-thirds of sellers choose to make at least some repairs before listing.

The key isn’t perfection — it’s positioning.

The Elakatt Group Advantage

We don’t recommend repairs for the sake of repairs. We look at your specific home, your neighborhood, and today’s buyer expectations to identify what actually moves the needle — and what to skip. Sometimes that means thoughtful preparation. Other times, selling as-is is the smartest play.

📍 Before you list, let’s talk. We’ll help you decide whether preparing your home or selling as-is will deliver the strongest outcome — and build a strategy aligned with your goals.
