Why are houses with deferred maintenance tough to sell?
If your house needs repairs, you might not get a lot of interest. Today’s buyers are usually looking for move-in ready houses, and they don’t want to take on property maintenance right after they move in.
Problems with the HVAC, plumbing, or electrical systems can come up during inspections and lead to delays or canceled sales. Even small things like worn carpeting or loose doorknobs can make people think the property hasn’t been well cared for and that there may be other underlying issues.
On top of that, repair costs can add up fast. When you're facing multiple fixes across different parts of the house, you're looking at potentially thousands of dollars out of pocket, often before the property is even listed.
Should you sell your house “as is”?
Trying to fix everything before selling isn’t always realistic. If the repair list is long, your time is limited, or you simply don’t want to deal with contractors and projects, selling your house “as is” might be the better option.
Selling a house “as is” makes sense when:
- You’ve inherited a house that needs major repairs
- Your rental property is too much to manage
- You’re moving and don’t want to invest in fixing things
- The cost of repairs is just too high
Whatever the reason, selling “as is” lets you move on without the stress of prepping, cleaning, or making the house perfect.
The traditional home sale vs. selling “as is”
Wondering what the difference is between selling “as is” and listing on the market? Here’s a clear breakdown:
| Traditional sale | Sell “as is” to us | |
| Repairs required | Yes | Not required |
| Upfront costs | High | None for repairs |
| Showings & open houses | Often | Not required |
| Cleaning/staging | Expected | Not required |
| Timeline to sell | Variable | Often much faster |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell an inherited house?
We extend our home-buying services to properties in special circumstances, like an inherited house. Sometimes you inherit an older home, a property filled with things you don’t know what to do with or don’t have the time to deal with, or a place that isn’t in the same location as you. This is where we step in to make it easier to sell your inherited house.
How long does it take to get money after selling a house?
Here at We Buy Ugly Houses, we work fast. When you sell to us, you get your payment at closing. We can sometimes close in as little as 3 weeks from the time you accept our offer. This means that you can go from getting a consultation to getting your payment fast, since we may be able to make an offer on the same day we come over for your free visit.
Can I sell my house if I'm behind on payments?
You can! Being behind on payments doesn’t have to stop you from having the home sale you want. If time is of the essence, we know how to work quickly.
What happens if I change my mind after accepting the offer?
We recognize that situations may evolve, and with We Buy Ugly Houses, you get a sale with freedom and flexibility. After signing the contract, you have 3 calendar days to reconsider your acceptance. Should you change your mind during this period, simply contact your property buyer in writing to cancel the contract.
