I’d rather sell it “As Is”…I don’t want to spend another dime on this house. What’s wrong with that?
A. An “as is” house gives potential buyers the impression that they have negotiating leverage. If adequate improvements are made, there is no need for negotiations. Also, an “allowance” for a perceived imperfection will always be more than the needed repair/replacement cost, and staging always costs less than a price reduction.
