Is It Better to Sell Your Home As-Is or Make Repairs First in Las Vegas? — Deidre Wilson, Las Vegas & Henderson, NV Realtor®

Is it better to sell your home as-is or make repairs first in Las Vegas?
It depends on your goals, budget, and timeline. Selling as-is may save time and upfront costs, but making key repairs often attracts more buyers and higher offers. Deidre Wilson helps sellers weigh both options based on their situation and the Las Vegas market.

What Selling As-Is Means

• You list the home in its current condition.

• Buyers know they’ll be responsible for repairs after closing.

• You may attract investors or buyers looking for a deal.

Pros:

• Faster process

• No repair costs upfront

• Less stress over inspections

Cons:

• Smaller buyer pool

• Lower offers

• Potentially longer days on market if the home shows poorly

When to Consider Making Repairs

Making strategic updates often improves marketability:

• Fresh paint, flooring, or landscaping for curb appeal

• Addressing major issues (roof, HVAC, plumbing) that could scare buyers

• Updating kitchens or bathrooms for higher ROI

Pros:

• Attracts traditional buyers

• Higher sale price potential

• Shorter time on market

Cons:

• Upfront costs for materials/labor

• More prep time before listing

Las Vegas Market Insight

In 2025, homes in Las Vegas with light updates sold on average 12 days faster and for 3% more than comparable as-is homes (Source: LVR). This is especially true in competitive neighborhoods like Summerlin, Skye Canyon, and Southern Highlands.

Deidre Wilson’s Advice

“Not every home needs a full remodel. I walk through the property with my sellers and point out which updates will give the best return — and which aren’t worth the money. Sometimes a fresh coat of paint and professional staging is all it takes.” — Deidre Wilson
