Don’t Guess on Price.
When a property falls below move-in-ready condition, estimating the sales price becomes significantly harder.
The “Testing the Market” Trap
Because the value is hard to estimate, many sellers decide to “test the market” with a higher price. In the distressed segment, this is a mistake.
The likely result of testing the market:
- Longer Days on Market (DOM): Buyers assume something is wrong with the property beyond just condition.
- Stalled Listings: Activity dries up after the first two weeks.
- Multiple Listing Attempts: The history of price drops hurts your negotiating power.
You need a strategy based on facts, not experiments.
The Solution: A Broker Price Opinion (BPO)
A BPO is the best tool to cut through the uncertainty. It provides the specific data you need to make a move.
Understand Market Habits
Learn the condition-based buying habits of your specific market. What are investors actually paying for homes in this condition?
Estimate Repairs
Get a realistic view of necessary repairs. We quantify the work so you aren’t blindsided by buyer inspections later.
Assess Repair Feasibility
Is it worth fixing before you sell? We run the numbers to see if completing repairs will actually net you more money, or if selling “as-is” is the smarter play.
Assess Renting Feasibility
Should you hold it? We analyze if renting would be a feasible alternative to selling in the current market.
