Should I make repairs before listing?
Fix obvious issues that an inspector would flag: leaky faucets, cracked windows, broken appliances, and safety hazards. You do not need to make every minor repair, but major issues like roof leaks, HVAC problems, or foundation cracks should be addressed or disclosed upfront.
Why It Matters
Buyers who find neglected repairs during showings often wonder what else is wrong. Proactive repairs build trust and prevent renegotiation later.
