Personal Finance (Not Investing) • Seeking Advice: Does It Make Sense to Renovate Before Selling?

$

I just sold. Fix everything that is broken, replace worn out items like worn carpet, clean, paint if needed. Let the new buyers see a house that was well maintained and is in move in condition, but lets them figure out their style and envision how they will live.

A good agent can advise on replacing roof and HVAC on the current local market conditions.

When I sold, there were a few issues, but the new buyers were strapped for money and had to move into the area for new jobs; they accepted money / credit and saved me the trouble, but that was due to their desire for the house and area. I followed my agent's advice and he was right.
