What Happens If You Can’t Afford Repairs Before Selling?

Many New Jersey homeowners feel stuck with properties that need major repairs — but don’t have the time, money, or energy to fix them. The good news? You don’t need to renovate to sell.

Here’s what to expect when selling a house that needs work — and how NJ Home Relief can help.

The Real Cost of Repairs

Between materials, permits, and labor, even small updates can balloon into major expenses. Common repairs like:

• Foundation work

• Roof replacement

• Mold or water damage

• HVAC system updatescan cost thousands — and take weeks or months to complete.

If you're short on funds, this can delay your ability to move or resolve a financial crisis.

Traditional Buyers Want Move-In Ready Homes

Most buyers expect a clean, updated home. If your property needs work, it might:

• Linger on the market

• Fail inspections

• Attract low-ball offers from flippers or investors

Even worse, you may have to make costly repairs just to satisfy a buyer’s lender.
