How Do I Sell a Henderson Home That Needs Repairs? — Deidre Wilson, Las Vegas & Henderson, NV Realtor®

How do you sell a Henderson home that needs repairs?
You can either sell as-is, make selective updates, or offer buyer credits. The right approach depends on your budget, timeline, and the local market. Deidre Wilson helps Henderson sellers choose the best strategy to maximize their bottom line.

Option 1: Sell As-Is

• No upfront repair costs.

• Attracts investors and cash buyers.

• Often results in a lower sale price but faster closing.

Best for:

• Homes needing major repairs.

• Situations where speed is more important than profit (probate, relocation).

Option 2: Make Minor Updates

• Fix small issues like paint, carpet, and landscaping.

• Improves first impressions and online photos.

• Yields higher offers compared to untouched as-is homes.

Example: A $2,500 investment in flooring and paint may increase offers by $10,000+.

Option 3: Offer Buyer Credits

• Instead of repairs, offer credits toward closing costs or updates.

• Buyers appreciate the flexibility to make changes themselves.

• Keeps the process moving without upfront expenses for sellers.

Henderson Market Insight

In 2024, homes in Henderson sold 12% faster when minor updates were completed compared to full as-is listings (Source: LVR). Neighborhoods like Anthem, Inspirada, and MacDonald Highlands see especially strong demand, meaning even homes needing repairs can attract buyers.

Key Repairs That Matter Most

• Roof leaks

• HVAC issues

• Plumbing or electrical problems

• Safety concerns (stairs, handrails, etc.)

Deidre Wilson’s Advice

“Not every repair is worth making. I help my sellers decide where to spend and where to save. Sometimes selling as-is is the best choice, but other times a few small fixes can make a huge difference.” — Deidre Wilson
