Should I Fix or Sell? Seven Benefits of Selling a House As-Is

3. There’s no arguing with taste

If a potential buyer can’t imagine living in a particular space, they’re not going to make an offer, unless they plan to flip or gut and rebuild. One can’t anticipate how someone else will want to use the space. A study may become a sewing room or a nursery. A small bedroom may become a big, luxurious bathroom. Concentrate on creating a space that suggests multiple possibilities rather than trying to anticipate the needs of someone else.

4. You’ve already made your decision

Don’t let nostalgia influence your renovation decisions when you’ve decided to move on. It is no problem that you never got around to installing that skylight in the kitchen. Your next home may have different light exposure or floor-to-ceiling windows that let in tons of natural light. Don’t just move — move on.
