36. Should You Fix Up Your House or Sell As-Is When Downsizing?

Should you tackle repairs and updates before selling your home—or skip the stress and list it as-is? If you’re downsizing, this decision can feel overwhelming. In this episode, we walk you through exactly how to decide what’s worth fixing and when it’s better to leave things as-is for a faster, simpler move.

• The emotional and financial crossroads of deciding what to fix
• Common high-ROI updates vs. what buyers really care about
• Situations where selling as-is might be your smartest move
• How to prioritize projects without losing time, money, or sanity
