Not all laundry is created equal. Those leggings you wore to a super-sweaty hot yoga session? Toss those in the washer post haste.

Your seller is convinced buyers will "see past" the dirty carpet, the peeling wallpaper, and the kitchen that still has the original appliances.

They won't.

Because buyers aren't buying potential.

They're buying a feeling.

And right now? Your listing feels like work.

Here's what actually happens:

Buyer walks in. Sees the carpet.

Immediately starts calculating:

Okay, new flooring is $8k.
Paint is $3k.
That kitchen? Probably $40k.
New bathrooms? Another $25k.

They're not seeing potential.

They're seeing their savings account evaporating.

They're seeing their weekends at Home Depot for the next 18 months.

They're seeing one more thing they have to fix before they can actually enjoy their house.

And then they go to the next showing.

Where the floors are already done.
Where the paint is already fresh.
Where they can move in and just... live.

That house gets the offer.

Yours gets "we'll think about it."

Your seller says "but we're priced under market to account for the updates!"

Cool.

So you want full price minus $76k in renovations?

Because that's the math buyers are doing.

And they're not offering full price on a fixer when they can get move-in ready down the street.

You know what buyers see when they look at "potential"?

Delayed gratification
Permit headaches
Contractor no-shows
Budget overruns
Living in construction

They see work. Not potential.

So you've got two choices: Fix it and price it right.

Or price it like the work project it actually is.

Because "seeing the potential" is your seller's job when THEY bought it as a fixer.

It's not the next buyer's job.

Save this for the next listing appointment where they want to "test the market" at move-in ready pricing with 1987 finishes.
