Can I sell my house without making repairs?
FAQ
Common questions
Do I have to disclose defects if I sell as-is?
"As-is" refers to the condition of the sale, not your disclosure obligations. Most states require sellers to disclose known material defects regardless of sale type. Your agent or attorney can advise on your state's specific requirements.
What's the difference between an as-is sale and a cash offer?
These are related but different. "As-is" means you're not making repairs before closing. "Cash offer" means the buyer doesn't need mortgage financing. Many cash buyers prefer as-is properties, but you can sell as-is to a financed buyer too. The lender's appraisal and condition requirements are a separate consideration.
How much less will I get for an as-is sale?
Depends heavily on the property's condition, location, and the local market. The discount can range from negligible in a strong market to significant if there's major deferred maintenance. We'll give you an honest estimate based on the actual property.
