Selling a home "as‑is" means you're not willing to make any repairs or improvements before closing. While this can be convenient, it usually signals to buyers that there may be hidden issues, which reduces competition and attracts investors looking for a discount. Most retail buyers are willing to pay more for a house that is clean, well maintained and move‑in ready. If you want the best possible price, focus on addressing major items that could scare buyers off, such as roof, HVAC, structural or plumbing problems. You don't have to renovate the entire home, but inexpensive fixes like fresh paint, landscaping, replacing dated fixtures and deep cleaning can dramatically improve first impressions. Ordering a pre‑listing inspection can also help you understand what buyers will find and either fix those items or price the house accordingly. Ultimately the decision depends on your budget, timeline and the state of your local market. An experienced listing agent can help you compare the cost of repairs against the likely increase in sale price and suggest options like offering repair credits or an "as‑is" price reduction to keep more buyers interested.

Michael, Depending on the home, your time and your liquidity, some minor fixes can return a very nice return.

This means that you, as seller, do not intend on making any repairs to the property as part of the sale process. You might have to set the sale price taking into account the condition of the property and reduced the price accordingly. As for the best price I would have to see the property to give you more of an idea

Hi Michael,. The answer to your question starts with "that depends . . .". Condition and price go hand in hand (usually). However, currently in the Phoenix Metro area, Seller's are getting multiple offers and some offers are over the asking the price. If your home is move-in ready in a decent location, and is priced based on comparable sales in the neighborhood - you should be able to get top dollar, As-is.
