Should I sell my house as-is or make repairs first in 2026?

Selling as-is tends to make more financial sense than funding major repairs heading into a 2026 listing, because local buyers generally price in condition rather than pay extra for finished work. Smaller fixes, like a deep clean and anything an inspector would flag as a safety issue, tend to pay off more reliably than larger projects.
